Bihar Boat Tragedy, NIT ghat: Festivals are meant in any community to help the people or the set of people who follow any of such festival to enjoy. Festival are made for the people first and not people for the festival, then why we do not care our life first, if we are participation of any of the such events which are related in the name of religion and festivals.

Rescue operations are still underway, a high level meeting is chaired by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on the boat tragedy that claimed 24 lives, including some minors. The biggest question Nitish can answer.

As the divers are in the water to search for any more bodies, yet another team of police is on the search to arrest the owner of the amusement park and the boat owners for illegally ferrying passengers across the river.

As per the report from times, there are several things which have come to light. Heavy  advertisements were put across all the places to make this kite festival a great success but it didn't do enough to ensure their safety.

The boat, which had around 40 people on board who were returning to Ranighat in Patna from Sabalpur diara (riverine area), was retrieved from the river.
