A 10-year-old boy, Ganesh Yadav, has gone missing in the Mahananda River in Pranpur, Katihar district, with fears that he may have drowned. The incident occurred on Monday when Ganesh went to graze buffaloes in the Jalla Diyara area but did not return home by evening.

According to Ganesh's father, Dulal Kumar Yadav, Ganesh left with the buffaloes around 2 PM on Monday. When he did not return by 5 PM, his family grew concerned and began searching for him. During the search, Ganesh's clothes were found near the Mahananda River at Silor Ghat, leading the family to suspect he had drowned.

The family promptly informed Pranpur Station House Officer (SHO) Vijay Prakash and Circle Officer Shikha Kumari. Upon receiving the information, officials engaged local divers to search for the boy until late evening, but he could not be found. Since 8 AM on Tuesday, a State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) team has also joined the search efforts for Ganesh. As of the time of reporting, Ganesh's body had not been recovered. SHO Vijay Prakash stated that appropriate action would be taken once the body is found.
