Two men of a group of three who were trying to shift charcoal across the 'Guun' river reportedly drowned yesterday at around 10 am after their makeshift boat sunk over the fierce current at Sangaikot sub-division in Churachandpur district.
Thangkholam Hanghal, 58 son of Thangzapao Hanghal of W Zoujang and Mangtinlal Samte, 31 son of Lal Samte ou W Zoujang were carried away by the river when the boat they were travelling sank.
Another member of the group however managed to swim to safety and took their tale to villagers who immediately swung into action and began a search to trace the missing duo.
Despite the best efforts put in by the villagers of Zoujang and its vicinity since yesterday, there is still no report of the two bodies being recovered.
