CHIKKAMAGALURU: A Class 10 student from Kerala has gone missing in the Chandradrona Hill ranges in Chikkamagaluru district, prompting an intensive multi-agency search operation, officials said on Wednesday. The incident comes days after a woman from Kerala, Sharanya, who went missing in the Tadiandamol hills near Madikeri, was traced safely after four days.

She went missing near Manikyadhara waterfalls in the Bababudangiri Hills on Tuesday evening. According to officials, a group of around 40 tourists, including Srinanda's family, was visiting scenic spots in the hill range.
