But 12 people were not saved. Eight school students are included in this. This accident occurred due to breakage of the rope tied on both sides of the river to pull the boat. There was chaos on the spot after the incident. A crowd of hundreds of people gathered for about five kilometers on both sides of the river. At around 1 pm, the SDRF team started searching the river, but initially nothing was found due to the strong flow.
