Twenty-four engineering students from Hyderabad are feared to have been washed away on Sunday evening in river Beas near Thalot on Manali-Kiratpur Highway, 40 km from Mandi.

Some students have alleged that the dam authorities opened the gates of the dam to release water without prior warning.

The sightseeing trip to Himachal Pradesh turned tragic for the tourists when the students, including some girls who were taking photographs at the bank of the river, were swept away by gushing waters of Beas as discharge of water suddenly increased following its release from the reservoir of 126 MW Larji hydropower project.

According to information available with authorities in Shimla on Sunday night, 18 boys and six girls are feared to have drowned.

The discharge of water increased suddenly and caught everyone unawares as the Project authorities released the water apparently without any warning. Enraged people blocked the national highway after the incident. Massive search operations have been launched to trace the missing students but there was no success due to darkness.

State officials said the chances of finding the missing students alive are dim. The services of divers have been requisitioned as part of rescue efforts.

About 20 students, who did not go to the river bank, are safe but were in a state of panic.

Efforts were underway to get the details of missing students from them, S R Mardi, ADGP(CID) said.

People living along the two sides of the river bank downstream of the dam have been alerted to inform the police about any person sighted by them.

The incident has sent shock waves and parents and friends of the missing students are making frantic calls to know about their whereabouts.

Meanwhile, according to one of the witnesses -- Pratyusha, 23, a second year BTech student, the dam authorities had released water by opening the gates without warning leading to a flash flood and drowning most of the students. "Many of my friends were drowned," she said, adding that she had escaped as she was late in going down to join the team.

According to C V Anand, Hyderabad city police commissioner "when the students were busy posing for pictures in the backdrop of the dam, they met a water grave as flood waters caused by sudden opening of the dam gates had drowned them." There were in all 50 students who were on a study tour to Kulu Manali when the tragic incident occurred. "It appears that the dam authorities did not follow the proper drill before releasing the water in the river ' police official said after he spoke to his counter parts in Himachal Pradesh."
