A tragic incident occurred on the first day of the holy extra month in Devbhoomi Dwarka. Two brothers from the same family in Rajkot suddenly began to drown in deep water while bathing at the world-famous Gomti Ghat on Sunday morning.
Local swimmers managed to rescue one brother in time, while the other young man went missing, swept away by the river's strong current. With the beginning of the extra month, a surge of religious faith flooded Dwarka. Thousands of devotees had been arriving at Gomti Ghat for a holy bath since morning.
Among the crowd, the two brothers who had come from Rajkot for darshan were also present with their family at the ghat. Due to the inability to gauge the depth and strong current while bathing, both young men began to drown. Nearby devotees raised an alarm for help, prompting local swimmers and boatmen present at the ghat to spring into action.
They jumped into the river and managed to rescue one young man, who was immediately admitted to a nearby government hospital, where he is receiving treatment. However, the other 21-year-old young man was swept away by the river's strong internal current and disappeared from sight within moments. Upon receiving the news of the incident, local administration, police, and disaster management teams arrived at the scene and launched a comprehensive search operation at Gomti Ghat.
Boats and modern equipment were used for hours in the search operation, but by late evening, there was no trace of the young man. According to family members, they had come to Dwarka specifically for darshan of Lord Dwarkadhish and for a Gomti bath on the occasion of the extra month, but this religious journey turned into a tragic incident. The rescue team continues to search for the missing young man.
