Two teenage boys went missing on Sunday after they were swept away by strong currents at the Kharkhai check dam in Jharkhand's Seraikela-Kharswan district, police said.
The two had gone to the dam on a weekend outing when they entered the water and were carried away by the current, police said.
Local divers were brought in and a search operation was launched soon after the incident. However, the boys could not be traced, a police officer said.
The district administration has sought assistance from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). The search operation will resume on Monday, the officer said. (with inputs from PTI)
