They were crossing the river to the Durga Puja fair at Fateh. Most of the people dead are said to be relatives and/or of same villages though the recovered body could not be yet identified. Though the Nune river is a small river with little width and depth but due to heavy rain this season it is becomes a dangerous one. According to eye witness there were about 25 people on the boat though the number has yet not been confirmed by officials. The accident took place about 57 kms. away from district HQ. The Nune river where the boat turns down is near Samastipur-Vaishali border.
