LUCKNOW, India (AP): An overcrowded tourist boat capsized in the Yamuna river in northern India on Friday, leaving at least 10 people dead, officials said. Officials said the privately operated boat, which had a capacity of about 15 passengers, was carrying around 25 people when it overturned midstream. Officials said most passengers were not wearing life jackets and that the boat appeared poorly maintained. Boating accidents are common in India, where many vessels are overcrowded and have inadequate safety equipment. In 2023, a tourist boat capsized in southern India, killing at least 22 people.
