Balasore: At least ten tourists were stranded inside the water as a makeshift raft made of earthen pots broken accidentally at Bugalibandha Dam of Siadimala village under Nilagiri Police limits in Balasore district on Monday.
As per reports, ten members of a family were going to the resort in the Kumbha khetra area through the jungle using the makeshift raft. Accidentally it was broken, and the tourists including 3-4 children fell down into the water.
They tried to contact Keshu Das, the founder of the tourist place, but his phone was switched off. A rescue operation has been launched to save the tourists from the water.
