The incident unfolded when a group of devotees and villagers attempted the risky crossing from the Gomti River ghat in Dwarka. In the absence of operational boats and with the Sudama Setu bridge – the designated passage connecting the ghat to Panch Kui – closed for repairs, they resorted to wading through the river itself.
However, the situation turned critical as the water levels in the Gomti River suddenly increased, creating strong currents that threatened to sweep the devotees away. Thankfully, fire brigade teams were swiftly deployed to conduct a rescue operation, ensuring the safety of all those trapped in the river.
