India Boat Overturn Death Toll Hits Fifteen
The vessel overturned Friday in the Yamuna river near Keshi Ghat in Mathura district, triggering an urgent multi-day search and rescue operation that remains actively ongoing.
Authorities said the boat was carrying more than 37 passengers at the time it capsized. Ten victims were pronounced dead on the very first day of the tragedy, while rescuers managed to pull 22 survivors to safety in the immediate aftermath of the incident.
The rising death toll underscores the dangers of overcrowded river transport in the region, as officials have yet to confirm the exact number of people still missing from the ill-fated vessel.
