Patalpani Accident, Indore,Central India

(Three members of a family were drowned as flash flood caused a sudden flow of water in the famous Patalpani waterfall near Indore.
Patalpani waterfall is a famous picnic spot near Indore, and the Rathi family members, who had gone there to enjoy a quiet Sunday, had no inkling of a disaster awaiting them.
The water current caught all the five people three of them Chhavi, Chandrashekhar, Mudita downed and died, while local people rescued Mudita's brother and another youth.The video was taken by a local tourist Gaurav Patidar.
This video is not for any popularity of my channel or publicity. This video teaches us sometimes extra-bravery or disobeying caution/rules can cause this type of horrible accidents.)

Govt. say Patalpani is a Picnic Spot ..n on the other side such type of incident happen on the picnic spot its shame on the Indore government.. .I think its a fault of the Indore government why they couldn't be maintain such type of Picnic spot .If they want so they establish or make Iron-net wall for protection purpose .But everyone is quite n blame nature , better blame govt. first then nature....Otherwise dis is continue in future.

Yea correct but we should still blame the govt not having safety stuffs on a tourist spot. I really feel bad for those ppl standing and camcording what happened, they can't do anything. I felt like I was tortured when I was watching the video. Rest in peace.

It is really a horrible an sad incident. But in my opinion people must be very careful while traveling as most of the time they know little about other places. Nature changes every time n our govt. is very casual about these incidents, so people should be more careful. Last of all , all my condolences with the bereaved family members.

Tragic. But most horrible is that when one person called the police rather than responding immediately police were asking for directions to the picnic spot for more than 2 minutes. In an emergency situation every second is of value. The police should know their jurisdiction and not waste time and cause loss of precious lives by their lax attitude.

Why no one tried to bond a human chain and rescue them while the current wasn't high...everyone was watching...no one even tried to do anything...such a shame..RIP unfortunate family

Very Unfortunate and a Gory incident...this definitely cannot be a picnic spot at all....A life comes into being after putting in a lot of effort and many years..which just went off in a flash...:( May the departed souls rest in peace..and this be a wake up call to the Government at large and others who take Life very casually.....
