This is the third accident in Banas river in 3 days
The flow of water in the Banas river has been fast for the last 41 days. Recently the gates of Bisalpur dam have also been opened due to which the water level in the river has increased further. The administration is constantly appealing to the people to stay away from the river, but people are ignoring the warnings. It is worth noting that this is the third accident in the Banas river in the last three days. After the opening of the gates of Bisalpur dam, the administration had appealed to the people to stay away from the river by being cautious. Still people are putting their lives at risk by being careless. Despite the administration’s many efforts, people are going to the river banks to bathe, wash clothes and graze cattle, due to which there is a danger of accidents. This incident once again proves that carelessness towards natural disasters can prove to be costly. It is important to take the warnings issued by the administration seriously.
