A tragic boat accident occurred on the Narmada River in the Bargi Dam area near Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, where at least nine people have been confirmed dead. The incident unfolded during a leisure cruise when strong winds and rising water led to chaos on board. Survivors recounted how life jackets were not distributed until it was too late, leading to panic as the boat capsized. Witnesses reported that locals had warned the boat operator about worsening weather, but their advice was ignored. The rescue operation has been challenging, involving teams from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), police, and the Army, who are working to recover bodies from the submerged vessel. Minister Dharmendra Lodhi stated that an investigation will be conducted to address allegations of negligence regarding safety measures. The recovery efforts are ongoing, with divers navigating difficult conditions to locate the wreck and retrieve trapped individuals.
