Coimbatore : In a tragic twist of fate, one of the devotees Ramu who took part in the Visarjan ceremony for the immersion ceremony of Lord Ganesha’s idol was washed away due to strong currents in the Noyyal River.
Fire service personnel who rushed to the spot have launched a massive search to recover the corpse.

However, the search has been futile thus far with the fire service personnel unable to trace the body. The search was ongoing this morning too. Peeved at the delay to recover the body, the kin of the youth staged a road roko near Alanthurai and detained a TNSTC bus.

The Alanthurai police who have rushed to the spot are pacifying the distraught relatives.
