The accident happened with four teachers and 20 students on board. Rescue operations, involving divers and firefighters, are ongoing. Vadodara Collector AB Gore and Police Commissioner Anupam Singh Gehlot have arrived at the scene. Initial findings suggest negligence on the part of Vadodara Municipal Corporation.

Dr. Shilat Mistry, Chair of Vadodara Municipal Corporation’s Standing Committee, assured action against those responsible. Currently, the primary focus is on the rescue operation.
