Madikeri, Aug 11: Natural Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team has been working strenuously to find out the people who went missing after Brahmagiri hill suffered a landslide and came crashing on their house. Now, two cars belonging to missing chief priest of Tala Kaveri, Narayan Achar, have been found.

NDRF, SDRF, police, and firemen have been searching for the missing family members since Tuesday morning. A Renault Duster and a Maruti Omni van, both of which reportedly belonged to Achar, were found. Both the cars have been completely mangled.

These cars were in the shed of Achar's home. A few items belonging to the family are also found one by one during the operation. But the bodies of Narayan Achar and four others are yet to be located. JCBs and Hitachi machines have been frantically searching for the missing people. A total of 60 personnel are engaged in the search operation.

In all likelihood, the funeral of Anand Theertha, whose body was found during searches on Monday, may be performed on Tuesday.
