Bodies of five of the 24 students, swept away in Himachal Pradesh on Sunday, were flown back to their hometown Hyderabad. A plane carrying 22 survivors of the group also returned to the city. Despite massive search operations by the Centre and Himachal Pradesh governments, with assistance from the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments, the chances of finding any survivors from Sunday's tragedy at Beas river look bleak. ore than 30 hours after the accident, as officials failed to rescue any of the 24 students who were washed away in the swirling waters, it is being feared that all of them have met a watery grave. Mr Pankaj Rai, a senior Himachal Pradesh IPS official, said that the toll could rise as all the missing were feared dead. Rescue workers on Monday recovered the bodies of five students. The survivors of the Beas mishap saw horror unfolding in front of their eyes when swirling water came rushing towards them and washed away their friends who were clicking pictures on the rocks in the riverbed. Reports say that no Sirens or Hooters were raised before opening the gates.
