The Story in Brief
A State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) team rescued 18 Kanwar Yatra devotees from a potential accident in the Ganga river at Haridwar. The team, led by officer Arpan Yaduvanshi, was deployed at ghats for continuous surveillance. They spotted devotees in danger and acted swiftly to pull them to safety, preventing what could have been a serious mishap during the pilgrimage.
The Indian Opinion
This rescue shows the SDRF's quick work, but the real story is the absence of such vigilance across all crowded religious events. The Kanwar Yatra brings lakhs to the Ganga, yet safety protocols remain uneven. Will the government now mandate a permanent, year-round surveillance system at Haridwar and Rishikesh ghats, or will this be a one-off alert?
