WorldPhoto: Prabhat KhabarVaishali Boat Accident Killed 13 Children; Safety Neglected
In Vaishali's Raghopur, a boat accident on a waterlogged area between villages caused 13 children's deaths, with nine missing and three rescued. The boat, once government-owned but declared abandoned due to old age, was repaired and used by villagers despite cracks. Children were crossing about 300 meters of water to attend a ritual feast. The tragedy raises urgent questions about boat safety and responsibility for providing secure transport between villages.
