He prayed to Lord Shri Ram to grant salvation to the departed souls and provide the grieving families with the strength to bear this immense sorrow.
The incident took place at the Shri Ramapur Ghat in the Kotwali area of Ballia district. People had gathered at the Ganga ghat for a mundan ceremony when six young men and women suddenly drowned in the river, causing panic at the ghat.

This incident in Ballia comes on the heels of a recent tragedy in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, where at least 13 people drowned in the Bargi Dam reservoir. That accident occurred on April 30, when a cruise capsized due to strong winds, leading to the drowning of those on board.
