Indonesia's Sumatra island is likely to recognize the ferry sinking on the Toba Lake, the country's authorities said. On June 18, the ferry was submerged due to hostile weather. People were roaming around the ferry on the Eid holidays.

Head of National Investigation and Rescue Agency Muhammad Sayyogi said that an object of 20 meter length and 5 meters width below 1475 feet has been identified. Its size seems to be assumed that it could be a drowning ferry. But it needs more testing to ensure that the ferry is not there.

This lake is one of the world's deepest lakes from volcanoes. Its depth is 1500 feet. Due to this depth, drone is being used in the rescue area along with divers.

However, the authorities could not confirm how many were in the ferry. However, it has been found on the basis of information from relatives of the missing people
Number of missing 193
. They are afraid that they may not have survived.

So far three dead bodies and 18 people were rescued alive.

National Police Chief Tito Carnavian said investigators found various types of neglect on the incident. Meanwhile, the ferry sailor and three top officials of Syamando Port were blamed. The last three officers were responsible for checking the ferry fitness and seeing if everything was ok.

A few days after the accident, Transport Minister Budi Qaraa told a news in the capital Jakarta that 43 people had the capacity to carry the ferries. And there is a life jacket of 45. The list of missing people appears to have been five times more than the fixed number. Even there were many motorcycles in it. He said, 'there was a lot of mistakes here. The movement of this vessel was not allowed. '

The survivor's commentary was that people were terrified after ferrying the ferries and high waves. At one stage the ferries were sinking.
