VADODARA: More than eight passengers were rescued after a boat carrying daily commuters capsized in the Mahisagar river near Padra in Vadodara district pf Gujarat on Tuesday morning, narrowly averting a major tragedy, officials said.
The passengers had boarded a small private boat from the Padra side and were travelling towards Gambhira when the incident occurred midstream.
Preliminary information suggests that the boat lost balance, possibly due to a strong current, causing it to overturn and throw all those on board into the river.
