Cruise Boat Capsizes at Madhya Pradesh Dam, Sparking Safety Outrage
A cruise boat capsized at Jabalpur's Bargi dam on the Narmada River, throwing dozens of tourists into turbulent waters and exposing alleged safety negligence by Madhya Pradesh Tourism. Survivors report no life jackets were provided, children were unsupervised, and railings were inadequate. The incident echoes a near-tragedy in Bhopal in 2022, where the tourism department had promised statewide safety reforms that reportedly remained unfulfilled.
