Lucknow, May 3: A tragic incident occurred in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, where four individuals drowned in the Ganges River while bathing. Local boatmen managed to rescue two others. The police are currently searching for the missing individuals with the assistance of fishermen. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken note of the incident and directed officials to expedite the search for those unaccounted for.
CM Yogi expressed his sorrow over the Ballia incident. He posted on the social media platform X, stating that the unfortunate event at the riverbank in Ballia, where people were taking selfies and videos, has resulted in significant loss of life. He extended his condolences to the grieving families.
He further prayed to Lord Shri Ram to grant peace to the departed souls and strength to the bereaved families to endure their immense sorrow.
The incident took place at the Shri Ramapur ghat in the Kotwali area of Ballia district. People had gathered at the Ganges for a mundan ceremony. While bathing, six young men and women suddenly drowned, causing panic at the ghat.
Local residents quickly informed the police, and a team of divers was summoned. Meanwhile, some boatmen managed to rescue one young man and one young woman from the water. However, four individuals remain missing.
Police officials reported that while several young men and women were bathing in the Ganges, one slipped and began to drown. In the attempt to save him, three others also went under. Their search is ongoing with the help of fishermen and divers.
This incident in Ballia comes on the heels of a similar tragedy in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur, where at least 13 people drowned in the Bargi Dam reservoir. That accident occurred on April 30, when strong winds caused a cruise to capsize, leading to multiple casualties.
