In the search going on for four consecutive days, 4 bodies were recovered on the first day, 5 on the second day, 2 on the third day and 2 on the fourth day. The number of women and children among the dead is 12, due to which the whole matter has taken an even more emotional turn.
According to police officials, the bodies found so far include 4 children and 8 women. According to the report of Dainik Bhaskar, CSP Anjul Ayank Mishra said that even though most of the missing people have been traced, as a precaution, the search operation will be continued throughout the day so that no possibility remains incomplete.
This accident happened around 5 pm on April 30, when a cruise of Madhya Pradesh Tourism was roaming in Bargi Dam carrying tourists. According to media reports, there were about 47 people on board the boat, while tickets were officially issued for only 29 people. The accident happened about 300 meters from the shore. At the same time, the situation suddenly worsened due to strong storm and bad weather. It was told that the wind speed had reached about 74 kilometers per hour.
The process of sending the bodies of tourists from Tamil Nadu who lost their lives in the accident to their home states has also been started. The bodies were sent to Trichy by cargo plane from Dumna Airport in Jabalpur. The relatives of the deceased also left with them.

According to Bhaskar’s report, MP Tourism Advisor Commander Rajendra Nigam said that the main reason for the accident was the sudden mini tornado and the high waves generated by it. They say that due to strong waves the cruise lost its balance and overturned. However, now the biggest question arising is that when the Meteorological Department had already issued a yellow alert, then why the cruise operations were not stopped. The investigation into why adequate arrangements were not made for the safety of passengers despite bad weather has now become the most important issue for the administration.
