Student reported missing while rafting

BANDUNG: A search is under way for Angelina Yofanka, a marine science student of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), who was reported missing on Sunday afternoon while rafting on Cikandang River, Pakenjeng, Garut.

Angelina and three friends were rafting on the river when their rubber boat was jolted so strongly in Tanjungjaya, Pakenjeng, that the four jumped into the water.

However, Angelina did not surface.

“We have searched along the river four times but we did not find her. We are afraid she may have been behind the big rock where her raft was last spotted. There is a nine-meter drop there,” Brian Yuliarto, the head of ITB’s student affairs agency, said on Monday.

Angelina was among 56 students rafting on the river.
