Singapore : Several teams are on the lookout for an Indian-origin Singaporean mountaineer who went missing last Saturday after reaching the summit of Mount Everest. Prakash Chandra Devkota, owner of ‘Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition’, said that each team involved in the search for mountaineer Srinivas Saini Dattatreya consists of three Sherpas. The Straits Times newspaper reported on Tuesday that Devkota also shared a picture of the climber reaching the summit last Friday.
In this picture, Dattatreya is seen wearing dark orange clothes, sunglasses and oxygen mask. In this, a lot of flags are seen around him on the 8,849 meter high peak. Dattatreya is a senior manager at JLL Technologies. In another picture, the climbers are lying on their backs and three other people are sitting in similar clothes. According to the news, Srinivas last sent a message to his wife on Friday, in which he told that he had reached the top of Everest. He was told that he had suffered ‘cerebral oedema’ and was unlikely to come back down. ‘Cerebral edema’ is a disease occurring at high altitude, which can also prove to be fatal.
Srinivas’s wife Sushma Soma told that she last spoke to her husband at 3.30 pm on Friday afternoon. Soma learned around 2 am on Friday that the two Sherpas accompanying her husband and other members of the group had returned but Srinivas had not. Rescue and relief operations are on, Soma wrote in her Instagram story on Monday. Thank you all for your messages. We are grateful to you for your love and the concern you have shown.
