Officials told KNO that the elite divers of MARCOS, assisted by the SDRE’s Quick Response Team (QRT), resumed underwater scanning early Monday morning despite cold and low water visibility.

“We are combing every section of the stretch where the suspected remains were spotted. The operation will continue until further directions,” an SDRF officer said.
