Summary:
"With heavy rainfall during the monsoon, the streams were flooded and the woman was washed away by the strong water currents. On witnessing the emergency situation, other trekking groups rushed to the spot and rescued the four trekkers, but efforts to trace Basu were futile. After a halt, the group commenced their trek on a route that was already quite crowded with trekking groups from out-of-state as well as Goan groups, forest department officials said. "The Pune-based group descended down into the woods, near a temple, and began to cross the stream. The area is also closed for tourists during the monsoon and the group had trespassed into the wildlife sanctuary," said Parab..
