A group of around 12 youths went for merry-making at Kalain on Sunday. As per reports, the group of friends ‘getting bored’ due to prolonged lockdown like situation went for outing. On reaching Kalaincherra, they were amazed to see the stream there beneath the hanging bridge. One of them, a 21-year-old youth, Rohit Saha from Tarapur, Silchar plunged into the stream to take a bath. However, due to heavy current in the river, he lost his control and drowned.

At once, his friends raised a hue and cry. There were many other people nearby who too had gone there for fun. But due to strong current in the stream, it was not possible for them to search Rohit. Meanwhile, the NDRF was called, but by the time they reached the spot, it was almost dusk. As such, they decided to begin the search operation on Monday morning. In the early morning on Monday, NDRF began their search operation and found out the dead body of Rohit Saha. His body was sent for autopsy.

People of the locality have expressed displeasure to the fact that off and on, people in large numbers, especially the youths flock together at Kalain and try to make fun in the stream resulting in fatal mishaps. Last year too, a youth drowned there and lost his life.
