The joint SAR team managed to find the body of a female toddler with the initials ABA (3) who had drowned in Tambun River, Tarumajaya District, Bekasi Regency, West Java on Monday, November 7, afternoon.
The victim had drowned when her parents left her to go to the toilet on Saturday, November 5.
Since the victim was declared missing and drowned, the joint SAR team officers began conducting a sweep of the Tambun River flow since last Saturday. After a search was carried out, on Monday afternoon, the victim's body was found by the joint SAR team at a radius of 2 KM from the scene.
"The victim was found this afternoon in a condition among the gondong edung plants that have covered the flow of the Tambun River," said Head of the Jakarta SAR Office as SAR Mission Coordinator (SMC) during the SAR operation, Fazzli when confirmed by VOI, Monday, November 7.
The search for the victim's body was previously carried out by dividing into two search teams. The first team made an effort to search using a rubber boat along the Tambun River up to a radius of 4 KM from the scene.
Then the second team conducted a visual sweep by following the land route along the banks of Kali Tambun up to a radius of 3 KM from the scene.
"The inhibiting factor in the search effort is cloudy water, making it difficult to search below the surface of the water. As well as hyacinth plants that hinder the mobility of rubber boats in following the Tambun River flow," he explained.
Furthermore, the victim's body was evacuated by the SAR team by putting it in a body bag that had been prepared.
"After that the victim was evacuated to the funeral home to be handed over to the family," said Fazzli. The dozens of joint SAR personnel were deployed in search efforts consisting of the Jakarta SAR Office, Tarumajaya Police, Tarumajaya Babinsa, Bekasi Regency BPBD, the public and others.
