85-year-old woman reported missing spends two nights in forest with no shelter or food in Hosanagar taluk of Shivamogga Karnataka

An 85-year-old woman, who went missing from Sadagal village in Hosanagar taluk on November 5, was found in the forest about six kilometres from her residence on November 7 evening. Sharadamma, the octogenarian, survived without food or shelter for two nights and three days in the forest, which is filled with wild animals, braving heavy rains.

After she was traced by the local people, as she got into the ambulance, the first thing she told her family members was that she was fine and there is nothing to worry. She was taken home after a medical check-up at the government hospital in Nagara.

Nagar police, forest officials and local villagers jointly searched for Sharadamma, who went missing from Sadagal village in Hosanagar taluk of Shivamogga district in Karnataka, on November 5, 2023. (Source: special arrangement)
