A nomad boy is missing since Sunday evening after getting trapped in strong water currents in a rivulet in Surankote tehsil of Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Locals said that two nomadic boys hailing from Kallar village of Mendhar sub division of Poonch district were grazing their cattle in higher reaches of Bahram Gala area.
“The duo was crossing a rivulet when flash flood caused a sharp rise in its water level,” said a local.
