Two tourists from Sapekhati, Assam, were rescued alive after their vehicle met with an accident and plunged into a deep gorge on the hilly stretch between Ngissa and Wakka in Longding district.
The accident reportedly occurred due to a difficult and narrow road combined with late-night travel. Local villagers, along with district authorities and emergency responders, promptly carried out a joint rescue operation and successfully retrieved both victims from the gorge.
The injured tourists were safely shifted to the District Hospital, Longding for medical treatment, where their condition is stated to be stable.
Further details from the authorities are awaited.
