A three-year-old girl died in a boat collision in Assam 's Dhubri district Saturday evening. Six persons were injured in the accident that took place in the Tipkai river and were hospitalised. They were said to be out of danger.
"The child could not be located even as State Disaster Response Force ( SDRF ) conducted search operation until 1am Sunday. Her body was later found floating about 100m from the accident site," an official said. Several people also went missing, but were rescued by SDRF, with locals' help. Others managed to swim to the riverbank. One of the boats was reportedly carrying passengers to attend a wedding. It collided with two other boats that were joint- ly transporting a piece of heavy machinery. "The vessel with passengers tried to send signals but the two boats jointly carrying an excavator couldn't stop due to the weight," the official said.
