A tourist staying at Bandos Island Resort has gone missing. Although personal details of the person has not been officially disclosed, Sun Online has been told by reliable sources that it is a lady from China.
The lady was last seen going for snorkeling to a site at Bandos lagoon.
Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) Spokesperson Colonel Abdul Raheem Abdul Latheef told Sun that MNDF Coastguard and Marine Police have been searching for the missing lady since yesterday, but to no avail.
The Coastguard has announced a request urging anyone who has any information that would help the search and rescue mission to call toll-free number 191.
A week ago, an accident involving a Hulhumalé Express Speedboat and a Bandos Resort Speedboat killed a tourist staying at Bandos.
