Accident – Death – Obituary News : FEROZEPUR: A tragic incident unfolded in the border village of Dona Telu Mal in Ferozepur, where the body of a farmer, Amrik Singh, was washed away by the Satluj River nearly a fortnight ago. The farmer had drowned while attempting to cross the river on April 2, and despite extensive search efforts, his body remained elusive.
After almost two weeks, local residents spotted a body floating in the river and immediately alerted the Border Security Force (BSF). The strong water current made it challenging for the BSF to recover the body, leading it to drift into Pakistani territory. However, following a flag meeting, the Pakistan Rangers handed over the body to the BSF, which then returned it to the grieving family members.
The heart-wrenching incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those living in border areas, where the unpredictable nature of rivers like the Satluj can lead to tragic consequences. The close-knit community of Dona Telu Mal has been left in mourning following the loss of Amrik Singh, a hardworking farmer who met an untimely demise while simply trying to navigate the river.
The cooperation between the BSF and Pakistan Rangers in handling this somber situation highlights the importance of unity and compassion in times of tragedy. As the family of Amrik Singh lays him to rest, the entire village comes together to offer support and condolences during this difficult period.
In the midst of this heartbreaking event, the resilience and solidarity of the community shine through, serving as a testament to the strength of human spirit in the face of adversity. The memory of Amrik Singh will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing each moment with loved ones..
