In Jabalpur, two more bodies were recovered from Bargi Dam, raising the cruise boat tragedy death toll to 11. Two tourists remain missing as search operations continue after the vessel capsized during a storm two days ago. Survivors allege negligence and safety lapses. The state government has ordered an investigation and banned similar vessel operations.

The incident, among Madhya Pradesh’s deadliest tourism disasters this week, is intensifying questions and scrutiny.
