Jabalpur | A major accident occurred on Thursday evening at Bargi Dam on the Narmada River in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, when a tourist cruise operated by MP Tourism sank amid a severe storm and heavy rainfall.
According to authorities, the cruise was carrying around 40 to 45 passengers, and the accident took place approximately 300 meters from the dam’s shore. By Friday morning, 24 people had been rescued safely, while 9 bodies had been recovered. Officials fear that 8 to 10 more bodies may still be trapped inside the submerged cruise. The initial rescue operation was carried out by the SDRF, but darkness and heavy rainfall severely hampered efforts.
The Indian Army has now joined the rescue operation, with special teams and a helicopter dispatched from Hyderabad, while a paramilitary team from Kolkata has also reached Jabalpur. Rescue teams are using JCBs and hydraulic machinery to pull the cruise toward the shore. The vessel is reportedly stuck in about 20 feet of water, and the operation also involves digging and using heavy equipment to reach trapped passengers. The cruise pilot, Mahesh, who has over 10 years of experience, stated that all safety equipment was on board. However, the storm arrived so suddenly that passengers did not get a chance to wear life jackets. Officials have cautioned that the number of casualties and missing people could change as the rescue operation continues. According to tourism department officials, the cruise was built in 2006 and has a maximum capacity of 60 passengers. Among the passengers were 15 members of a family from Khmaria, many of whom are still missing. One child from the family has been rescued, but the parents and some children are yet to be found. Authorities have said that the rescue operation has been intensified and that, as soon as the weather improves, every effort will be made to rescue all trapped passengers.
