Flood Drill in Bahraich Turns into Rescue After Woman Jumps into Ghaghra RiverPreviousNext

A flood relief mock drill on the Ghaghra River in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, turned into a real rescue when a 35-year-old woman jumped into the river from Sanjay Setu. Initially mistaken as part of the exercise, rescuers quickly responded and saved her. Police investigations suggest the woman attempted suicide due to family disputes and alleged harassment by her husband and in-laws, leading to a case filed against them.
