PASIGHAT, Mar 2:  The Tangang Erang Society felicitated two bravehearts from Ayeng village under Mebo Sub-Division of East Siang district who had risked their lives to recover the body of Assam man whose car had fallen into a deep gorge of the Yamne-Siang river confluence last year on August 17.
The 22-year-old from Assam, Harish Doley had fallen down into the deep gorge with his car when visiting the Pongging View Point, a popular tourist spot, along with his friends. Due to heavy rain and monsoon season, the dead body could not be recovered on the day as the steep mountain slopes posed a great challenge for the search operation team wherein SDRF personnel were called in. However, two bravehearts from Ayeng village, Nonong Borang and Opok Megu could successfully recover the body despite the tough terrain and inclement weather.  
“We as a responsible society motivate the morale of the brave youths and encourage them. The incident of Pongging wherein one tourist from neighboring Assam lost his previous life was very disheartening to us, but we were happy at least the dead body could be recovered despite the car falling down on the deep and steep river confluence which is one of the most dangerous zones of Siang-Yamne river areas. And the role of the two youths Borang and Megu is praiseworthy,” informed Apel Tayeng, President and Abi Moyong, General Secretary, TES.
