New Delhi, May 1 (UNI) Indian Naval Diving team on Wednesday joined the search operations in an effort to locate the missing personnel in Imphal river in Manipur.

The Manipur administration had requested the Indian Navy for assistance in rescuing the missing personnel.

“Based on request from Manipur State Government, a team of 12 Naval divers and 2 hydrographers (survey sailors) were airlifted from Visakhapatnam by an IAF aircraft to Imphal on Tuesday evening,” an Indian Navy official said.
