At least six school children died on Thursday as the boat they were on overturned in the Harni Lake on the outskirts of Vadodara in Gujarat. The boat was carrying 27 students who came to the outskirts for a picnic. A search operation has been launched to trace the students as the rest are missing. Gujarat education minister Kuber Dindor said the NDRF and the fire brigade personnel have been deployed for the search operation.
Vadodara district collector A B Gor said a rescue operation is going on. “A boat carrying school students, who came here on a picnic, overturned in Harni lake in the afternoon. The fire brigade has so far rescued seven students, while search is on for the missing ones,” Vadodara’s chief fire officer Parth Brahmbhatt said.
Some locals rescued some children before the fire brigade personnel reached the spot.
