Parbat, June 17. A 14-year-old boy who had gone missing in a landslide occurred at Kahule of Durlung in Kushma Municipality-3 in the district since Saturday night was found dead this morning. The lifeless body of local Jenish BK was retrieved this morning near his house. Security forces and locals had searched him for three days since the incident but in vain.
