As an­oth­er day passed with­out any con­tact from miss­ing Ch­agua­nas busi­ness­man Im­raz “Clubs” Ali, fam­i­ly and friends con­tin­ued to hold out hope that he is alive.

Day five of ex­ten­sive search­es at Fe­lic­i­ty and Char­lieville con­clud­ed last night, but the Hunters’ Search and Res­cue group, led by Val­lence Ramb­harat, was un­suc­cess­ful in lo­cat­ing Ali.

Ali, 60, of Ajod­ha Road, Char­lieville, was last seen on Sep­tem­ber 4 and last heard from on Sep­tem­ber 5, when his son re­ceived a call from Ali’s cell phone and heard him scream­ing.
