As the rescue operations are still underway in flash floods-affected Chamoli district in Uttarakhand, a private company from Madhya Pradesh has reported disappearance of four men who were also working at the severely affected power plant site.
The private company has informed the family members of the missing workers and asked them to reach the flood-affected area. As per the information, these men are missing since the glacier burst.
The missing men of Narwar and Satnawada area, near Gwaliior were named- Bhanu Pratap, Gajendra Pavaiya, Sonu Lodhi and Rakesh Lodhi. The private company had a plant in Chamoli where these workers were employed as welders.
