A fishing boat with four occupants overturned in the Tantighai River in Jajpur, Odisha, on Thursday, following the Durga idol immersion festivities. The incident left two individuals, including an eight-year-old boy, unaccounted for.

According to eyewitness accounts, the four individuals were returning from the immersion ceremony when their boat unexpectedly capsized.
