A team from the US defence department has carried out a search operation in Arunachal Pradesh to look for American military personnel who went missing during World War II.
The US Department of Defence's Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Agency (DPAA) conducted field activities in Arunachal Pradesh from November 1 to December 14 last year in search of US personnel who went missing in World War II, mostly as a result of air crashes.
"The DPAA team recovered evidence that was subsequently examined by a Joint Forensic Review Committee comprising both DPAA and Anthropological Survey of India members," the US Embassy said in a release here.

On December 7, the committee had recommended that the remains and material evidence recovered be transported to a DPAA laboratory for further analysis.
"In June 2017, DPAA personnel will escort the evidence from Kolkata to the US laboratory in Honolulu, Hawaii, for analysis," said the release.
