JAMBI - The Jambi Search and Rescue Office Rescue Team through the Bungo SAR Post, Jambi, continues to search for Zakaria (90), an elderly person who went missing in the Batanghari River, Tebo, Jambi, after bathing in the river on Sunday morning.
"The search also involves personnel from the BPBD, Police, Babinsa and local people and tonight the search was temporarily stopped and will continue tomorrow," said the Head of Basarnas Jambi Adah Sudarsa in his official statement, Sunday, December 28.
The elderly victim named Zakaria is suspected of drowning while bathing in the river, and only his towel was found on the riverbank by the family.
Adah stated that the search had been carried out around the location of the discovery of the towel, although hampered by the distance and the night time, the search was temporarily stopped and will continue tomorrow.
"The joint team will continue to monitor the area around the location of the discovery of the victim's evidence," he said.
The SAR team was searching using rubber boats, rescue dmax, and drones to monitor the river area from the air.
This search operation involved various combined elements, including the Jambi Search and Rescue Office (KPP), BPBD Tebo Regency, Tebo Ilir Police, Babinsa, and local residents. They worked together to find Zakaria as quickly as possible.
The search was carried out very carefully, given the condition of the river with its strong current and unpredictable weather. The SAR team has also asked for the help of the surrounding community to report if there is any information about the whereabouts of the victim.
"Hopefully the victim will be found safe. We will continue to monitor the development of the search and provide the latest information," said Adah Sudarsa.
