Rescuers searching a Himalayan river for dozens of Indian students, who were swept away when a dam released a rush of water, have retrieved four bodies.
The 25 students from the southern city of Hyderabad had been taking photographs on the banks of the Beas River on Sunday when they were engulfed by the water from the Larji hydropower station near the mountain resort town of Manali in Himachal Pradesh.
They had been on a 10-day field trip with around 48 students, some of whom managed to scramble to safety.
We saw a wall of water hit those who were on the banks. They fell flat and disappeared under the waves,' a student identified only as Sumiran told The Indian Express newspaper.
Kiran Kumar, a professor who was accompanying the students, said he saw the water level rising and told the students to step back from the bank.
