The death toll in the Mathura boat capsize tragedy on April 10 has risen to 14 following the recovery of another body from the Yamuna River on Monday, according to police officials.
The body of a woman was found at Swami Ghat after local residents provided information. Police took custody of the body and sent it for a post-mortem examination. She was later identified as Monika after her photograph was shared with family members.
With this latest recovery, four bodies have been found among the six people reported missing after the incident. Search operations continue to locate the remaining two missing persons.
On Sunday, the bodies of a woman named Dimpy and a man identified as Rishabh Sharma were recovered, while on Saturday, the body of Manik Tandon was found floating in the river.
Additional District Magistrate Amaresh Kumar said multiple teams, including the National Disaster Response Force, State Disaster Response Force, Flood Police, Fire Brigade, and local divers, are conducting coordinated search operations along the river.
Meanwhile, in Ayodhya, authorities have enhanced safety measures at river ghats in response to concerns over water safety. Ayodhya Circle Officer Ashutosh Tiwari said barricades have been installed to prevent bathing in deep waters and to safeguard crowds. He stated, “For the safety and convenience of the devotees coming to Ayodhya Dham, all our ghats have been secured by barricading so that they cannot take a bath in deep water.”
The accident involved a boat carrying over two dozen passengers that collided with a pontoon bridge near Keshi Ghat on the Yamuna River in Mathura. Approximately 25 to 27 people were on board when the collision occurred.
Rescue teams remain engaged in search efforts to find the missing persons in the river.
