The river was overflowing due to continuous rainfall in the region. Water was flowing rapidly over a road diversion built on the river, yet the pilgrims did not stop and decided to walk through the floodwaters.

The fast-moving water reaches up to their knees, making it a highly dangerous situation. One wrong step could have led to a major accident.

Locals watching the video expressed shock and concern, saying such actions during floods are unsafe.

Officials have repeatedly warned people not to cross rivers, diversions, or low-lying areas during heavy rains.

The Kanwar Yatra is a religious journey, but authorities urge pilgrims to stay safe and not take unnecessary risks, especially during the ongoing monsoon and flood warnings in several districts of Madhya Pradesh.
