In a press release on Monday, Deputy Commissioner and chairperson of District Disaster Management Authority Lakshmi Priya has said that an opinion has been sought from technical experts in Thrissur, Kerala, on deploying bridge-mounted dredger for the recovery of the truck.
And, based on their report, joint operations will be carried out with teams of Navy, Coast Guard, NDRF, SDRF and Fire and Emergency Services, she said.
