We never learn lessons from all previous incidents like this ...these girls lives are gone now due to our negligence to maintain the health and safety laws in place .. Who took them into boat? What kind of boat was it? What safety measures they have ? Please punish the boat owners

Very shocking news, it is not wise to travel in rainy weather, specially in rivers, people should wear life jackets while travelling in boats

Was this actually an accident or a willful trip to disaster? When a small boat is loaded beyond its capacity and no one is wearing life jackets, it is an accident waiting to happen.
