In the letter, Vijayan said his government appreciates the efforts taken by the teams engaged in the search-and-rescue operations to find the missing person. There have been reports that search operations have been stopped, he said, adding, “I earnestly urge you to give directions to continue the rescue operations till they yield positive results.”
Vijayan also requested that the operations be continued with augmented strength and using all needed equipment.
Later, the Kerala CM posted on social media platform X that he wrote to Siddaramaiah to express appreciation for the search-and-rescue teams’ dedication to locating Arjun.

As there are reports of operations stopping, we requested him to give directions to continue the rescue operations till they yield positive results,” Vijayan said in his X post.
