Bhagalpur - Rajmahal Cruise stranded due to overflowing Ganga: Simaria bridge halted the speed, 11 tourists including 9 foreigners are safe; was going from Kolkata to Varanasi.

The Rajmahal Ganga Cruise, which was en route from Kolkata to Varanasi, has been stranded in Bhagalpur for six days. The cruise's speed has been halted due to rising water levels in the Ganges River. It had crossed the Vikramshila Setu and reached Bhagalpur on September 5th and has been anchored in the Ganges since September 6th. Due to rising water levels below the Simaria bridge in Begusarai, there is not enough height left for the cruise to safely escape, making its exit difficult. Cruise
