A boat capsizes in the Ganga River in Bihar’s Vaishali district, with multiple reports citing at least 11 deaths and about 20 people missing. The incident happens on Tuesday evening as the boat carries passengers along the river. One outlet reports that 25 to 30 people are on board, while another notes that children are among those who die.

Authorities launch search and rescue operations after the accident. Reports say the victims were travelling to a neighbouring village to attend a feast when the boat overturned. Bihar’s government orders rescue work and announces financial assistance of Rs 4 lakh for each deceased person’s family, according to one outlet. Another report describes the number of people feared drowned as around 10, reflecting differences in early estimates as recovery efforts continue.
