    Five Assam Laborers' Bodies Found in Kurung Kumey District of Arunachal

    Digital Desk: Five Assamese labourers' bodies that were
    among the 19 still unaccounted for from a road construction site in the Kurung
    Kumey region of Arunachal Pradesh were discovered on Friday. Rescue personnel
    have just discovered five dead bodies in the deep jungle between Huri and Tapa,
    according to Kurung Kumey Deputy Commissioner Nighee Bengia. The bodies were discovered
    at various times and places, including one on July 25, three on July 26, and
    one on July 28. Six people were killed in the incident after the recovery of
    the five bodies, according to Bengia, who was quoted by PTI.



    The dismembered body, however, could not be recovered. Ten
    of the 19 construction workers from Assam who went missing along the Indo-China
    border in the Kurung Kumey District of Arunachal Pradesh have so far been
    located and saved. The bodies, according to the labourers who were saved, belonged
    to Forizul Haque, Moijal Haque, Sohar Ali, and Abul Hussain. The identity of
    the fifth body is unknown.



    The Assamese labourers who were working on the border road
    between India and China on July 5 reportedly left after being denied permission
    to return home.



    They then split into two groups of eight and eleven and set
    out on foot through the jungles for their homes.
