5 dead, 33 missing after boat capsizes in Andhra’s Godavari river

Four school girls and a woman are missing after a boat that was carrying 32 people capsized in the river Godavari on Saturday evening in Andhra Pradesh's East Godavari district.
The water currents were reportedly strong as river Godavari is almost in spate. The country-boat lost control and hit a concrete pillar that is being



erected to build a bridge and connect island village Pasuvulalanka to the mainland.
Four teams of the National Disaster Response Force, State Disaster Response Force, navy divers and local rescue teams searched for hours before calling off the search late night as it was totally dark. Search will resume in the morning.
