The tourist cruise boat capsized in the reservoir on the Narmada river during a storm.Authorities said tickets had been issued for 29 passengers, but survivors claimed that the boat was carrying between 43 and 45 people at the time of the accident.Sangeeta Kori, a tourist from Delhi, described the panic. “No one was made to wear life jackets beforehand,” she told PTI. According to her, chaos erupted once water began entering the boat and life jackets were distributed in a rush.“There was a lot of negligence. The pilot of the boat wasn’t listening at all. People from the village were shouting and signaling him to bring the cruise to a safer side, but he kept going the same way, which caused it to overturn suddenly,” she said.Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav visited the spot of wreckage of the cruise boat last week. On Friday, the state government ordered a probe into the tragedy and dismissed three crew members. It also banned operation of similar vessels in the state. The Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) will provide an ex-gratia of ₹2 lakh to the next of kin of each dead, while injured persons will receive ₹50,000.
