Representatives from all relevant government agencies are at the scene. Search operations are ongoing from early morning until late evening," Nozimiyon said.

According to him, an emergency response team has been established at the scene. Searches are ongoing daily, with all necessary resources deployed.

Rescuers are surveying the river both from the surface and underwater in the area of ​​the incident, as well as in areas downstream. Emergency Situations Committee units from the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region, the Kulyab region, and specialized rescue teams are participating in the search operation.
