There has been a tragic boat capsize in Bihar in which at least 13 children have died and three are still missing. The overcrowded boat capsized near Rampur Shyamchand village in the Raghopur constituency.
According to reports, a ‘Shradh’ feast was being held in a nearby village, and children were on their way to attend it. While crossing the river by boat, the vessel gave way and sank in the middle of the current.
In the boat capsize in Bihar the locals tried their best to rescue the children but only two or three survived.
It is also worth mentioning here that, the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) has launched a massive search and rescue operation in the Ganga River following the capsize.
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh for the families of the victims.
Samrat Choudhary shared an X post in this regard and wrote, “The news of the innocent lives lost in the boat accident in Raghoopur, Vaishali, is extremely heartbreaking and soul-wrenching.”
“In this difficult time, my deepest condolences are with the bereaved families. May God grant peace to the departed souls and provide the families with the strength to bear this immense sorrow,” CM Choudhary added.
वैशाली के राघोपुर में नाव हादसे में मासूमों की मृत्यु का समाचार अत्यंत दुखद और हृदयविदारक है। इस कठिन समय में मेरी गहरी संवेदनाएं शोकाकुल परिजनों के साथ हैं।
ईश्वर दिवंगत आत्माओं को शांति दें एवं परिजनों को यह भारी दुःख सहने की शक्ति प्रदान करें।
राज्य सरकार की ओर से मृतकों के परिजनों को ₹4-4 लाख की आर्थिक सहायता (अनुग्रह राशि) दी जाएगी। प्रशासन को राहत-बचाव कार्य तेजी से पूरा करने और घायलों के बेहतर इलाज के निर्देश दिए गए हैं।
ॐ शांति! 🙏
