IDUKKI: A final decision will be taken today on whether to continue the search for those missing in the massive landslide at Pettimudi in Rajamala. The district collector had informed that maximum search has been conducted. A meet will be convened today in connection with the search to be continued.

A decision will be taken after holding talks with the relatives of those missing. No one was found in the search conducted in the last two days. A search was conducted yesterday at Boothakuzhi area kilometres away from the disaster site and gravel bank area.

A tiger seen in the Bhootakuzhi area caused concern among the search team. A search focusing in the forest area is very difficult. A search after removing mud from the area where the disaster happened has been completed.
