Kohima: The body of a 22-year-old tourist from Tripura, who had gone missing in Nagaland’s Dzukou Valley more than a month ago, was recovered on Saturday, police confirmed on Sunday.
The deceased has been identified as Pranab Das, a resident of the Srinagar area in West Tripura district.
Das had entered the popular trekking destination through the Viswema entry point on January 4 after purchasing an official entry ticket.
