Bihar Boat Capsize: Two Bodies Recovered, Search Operations Underway For Missing People

In a tragic incident in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district, two bodies have been recovered during the ongoing search operation for individuals who went missing after a boat capsized in the Bagmati River.

District Magistrate Pranav Kumar confirmed the grim discovery, revealing that the bodies of a 40-year-old man and a four-year-old child have been retrieved from the river.

The ill-fated incident occurred when a boat carrying around 30 passengers, mostly school-going children and women, capsized near Madhur Patti ghat of the Bagmati

River.

The boat was en route to Bhattgama ghat on the opposite side when tragedy struck.

Thankfully, immediate rescue efforts led to the safe retrieval of twenty children, but eleven individuals remained unaccounted for. Both the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) have joined forces in the search operation for the missing persons.

To aid in the efforts, district officials are conducting door-to-door checks in neighbourhoods near the ghat to identify any missing children. Additionally, a team of doctors is stationed near the ghat, where a facility for post-mortem examinations has been established.

The entire operation is under the careful supervision of senior officials from the district administration, who are working tirelessly to locate the missing individuals and provide support to the affected families.

This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by communities relying on water transport and the need for stringent safety measures to prevent such tragedies in the future.
