According to river police officers, a number of shikaraswere trapped in the middle of the lake as severe winds unexpectedly descended on the area. Surprisingly, “many shikara owners neglected to wear the necessary safety gear, further endangering the lives of their passengers.”
Similar circumstances occurred on Thursday when strong winds pummelling Dal Lake and left a number of shikaras and visitors stranded. All the people trapped in the dangerous scenario were safely rescued as soon as action was taken.
