A survivor of the Bargi Dam boat tragedy, which occurred on April 30 in Jabalpur district, Madhya Pradesh, is protesting the dismantling of the salvaged vessel that capsized, leading to the deaths of 13 individuals. The survivor, Advocate Roshan Anand Kori, expressed that the boat was intact when retrieved and that dismantling it obstructs a comprehensive examination of its structure and safety features. Authorities, including Bargi City Superintendent of Police Anjul Ayank Mishra, stated that the vessel was cut apart to ensure no one was trapped inside. A technical team has taken the engine for inspection, but Kori argues that both the engine and the boat's body should have been thoroughly examined. In response to the tragedy, the Madhya Pradesh government has ordered an investigation and dismissed three crew members while banning the operation of similar vessels in the state.
