Three kolbars have gone missing due to heavy snowfall and blizzard in the Binar border heights of Orumiyeh, in Iran’s northwestern West Azerbaijan province, on 13 January.

The names of the kolbars, who come from the village of Bavan in Orumiyeh, are Barzan Mahini, Asad Seydani-Fard, and Bahloul Seydani-Fard.

The search for saving them began in the evening of the same day after their families lost contact with the kolbars.

In early 2021, five kolbars named Olaei Khodaei, Farat Khodaei, Matin Aslani, Ballen Ahmadi, and Yavar Aslani had lost their lives due to an avalanche in the border heights of Orumiyeh.
