MP Govt Forms Judicial Commission to Probe Bargi Dam Cruise Boat Tragedy

  • On Sunday, The Madhya Pradesh Government ordered a one-member judicial commission to investigate the cruise boat tragedy at Bargi Dam in Jabalpur.
  • The Madhya Pradesh Tourism Department cruise boat capsized on April 30 at Bargi during a sudden storm, killing 13 persons while 28 others were rescued.
  • Retired High Court judge Sanjay Dwivedi will chair the commission, which will probe the accident's causes, examine rescue measures, and fix responsibility for the tragedy.
  • The panel will submit its report within three months while establishing Standard Operating Procedures for a Quick Response Team under the Inland Vessels Act, 2021, and NDMA Boat Safety Guidelines, 2017.
  • A judicial commission carries greater public credibility and institutional weight than a routine departmental inquiry, justifying the formation of this panel to address the tragedy.
