Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 5 (PTI) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday wrote to his Karnataka counterpart Siddaramaiah, seeking urgent intervention in the search for a young IT professional from the state who went missing during a trekking expedition in Kodagu district.
In his letter, Vijayan expressed concern over the disappearance of G S Sharanya, who reportedly went missing while trekking in the Thadiyandamol hills on April 2.
“It is understood that a search operation is underway to trace her. I request your kind personal intervention in the matter,” Vijayan said in the letter.
He urged Siddaramaiah to issue directions to intensify the ongoing search operations by augmenting the strength of the teams so that the missing woman is traced at the earliest and brought home safely.
According to sources, Sharanya, a native of Nadapuram in Kozhikode district, was part of a 10-member group that had set out on a trekking trip on Thursday.
She is reported to have reached the Thadiyandamol trekking base at around 7 am that day. Authorities were alerted after she failed to return.
A search operation was subsequently launched, but she has not been traced so far, sources added. PTI LGK SSK
