SDRF Joins Search for Missing Student in Tuibuong

Lamka, June 13, 2026: The Churachandpur district administration on Friday launched a major search and rescue operation with the assistance of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) to locate a missing schoolgirl who was swept away by strong flood currents earlier this week.

The victim, Miss Lamboikim, daughter of Khupkholun Tuboi of K. Khomunnom village and a Class VIII student of Radhakrishnan Foundation School, Tuibong, went missing on June 11 after being carried away by floodwaters at Laijon Veng in Tuibong Sub-Division following continuous heavy rainfall.

Acting on a requisition from the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO), Tuibong, and with the approval of the Deputy Commissioner and District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Churachandpur, an SDRF team was deployed from Imphal to assist in the search efforts.

The rescue team, led by Havildar Riyajuddin, arrived at the site on Friday and immediately began operations from Zero Point, the location where the student was last seen being swept away. The team has deployed inflatable boats and specialised rescue equipment to strengthen the ongoing search.

Speaking at the site, Hav. Riyajuddin assured the family and the public of the team's commitment to the mission. “We will be here to do the needful and continue the search operation till the body is recovered,” he said.

Since the tragic incident, local youth clubs, civil society organisations, philanthropic groups, and volunteers have been actively involved in search efforts. However, persistent bad weather and a lack of adequate rescue infrastructure hampered earlier attempts to recover the missing girl.

The search operation is continuing with the support of SDRF personnel and local volunteers.
