Overview
- The capsize in Banswara's Mahi River on Tuesday left two people missing and set off a rescue operation.
- The small boat, carrying about 10 to 11 people, flipped roughly 200 metres from the bank near Bhainsau village in the Arthuna area during a visit to a riverside temple.
- Eight or nine passengers swam to safety, and police identified the missing as Jayesh, 21, and Manav, 8, from Bhano Ka Pada village.
- Local divers and civil defence teams are searching deeper sections of the river, and officers said the boat is fully submerged and not yet located.
- Early reports say no life jackets were provided, and the incident follows an April 30 cruise capsize in Jabalpur that killed 13 and heightened scrutiny of boat safety in the region.
