According to fire brigade station officer Ashish Kesarkar, who is leading the operation, the stretch where the teenagers entered the water is privately owned. Because of this, the area lacks active lifeguard coverage, and the municipal lifeguards stationed at the main public beach cannot monitor that section of the coast. The search operations were temporarily suspended at 8:00 PM due to low visibility and are scheduled to resume at daybreak on Saturday.
