Itanagar: The body of a Russian national who reportedly drowned during a rafting expedition on October 31 in Arunachal Pradesh has been found in Lower Subansiri district, authorities said today.
The rafter reportedly drowned during a rafting expedition at Kamla River near Tamin in the district, Deputy Commissioner Kemo Lollen (RPT) Kemo Lollen said.
He said that though the district administration came to know about the incident after finding the body yesterday, search operations were on since the day the incident had occurred.
