(by News Correspondent)

Midnapur; 23nd September 2018: As the city was wrapping up its Durga Puja celebrations, a horrific accident happened yesterday evening at Amtala Ghat, as a boat carrying 20 people capsized in the Ganga river.

As per the records of three witnesses from the scene, the victims were on their way to their home village, situated on the opposite bank of Amtala Ghat. At 6pm, the people had boarded with the boatman. At 6:15pm, as soon as the boat had crossed midway, a boulder surfaced from the river and crashed against the hull on the starboard side of the boat. Among the ten on-lookers of the scene, four jumped into the river to save the victims. Among them, 15 could not be rescued. However, the four men were able to recover 5 bodies so far; of them, two were women and two children.

As the local police have reported, rescue operations are working on this incident. The civic authorities are doing their utmost to pay reparations to the respective families of the victims.
