A tragic incident has occurred in Bettiah, where two youths were swept away by the strong currents of a swollen river while bathing. Upon receiving the information, local administration promptly responded, and a State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) team has been deployed to search for the missing individuals. The incident took place in the Bettiah district, where rivers are currently overflowing due to the monsoon season.

According to reports, both youths had gone to bathe in the river with their friends. They underestimated the river's strong current and ventured into deep waters. In a matter of moments, they were carried away by the swift flow, and their friends were unable to rescue them. The friends immediately informed the youths' families, causing a stir in the entire area. The families are in deep distress.

Local residents stated that during the monsoon, river water levels rise significantly, and currents become very strong. Bathing in such rivers can be extremely dangerous. The administration continuously appeals to people to stay away from swollen rivers and ponds, but such incidents frequently occur.

An SDRF team has arrived at the scene, and rescue operations are underway. Divers are assisting in the search for the two youths in the river. However, the strong current and high water level are posing significant challenges to the rescue efforts. Families and locals hope for a swift recovery, but their concerns are growing as time passes. The administration has urged people to remain patient and cooperate with the rescue team.
