Had the irrigation and PWD departments been more sensitive, this incident would not have taken place.

We display this video in an effort to create awareness about the dangers of monsoon flash floods across India, and to pay homage and obeisance to the people involved in the incident. If we can create some awareness out of this video, some very modest amount of good can come out of the terrible tragedy that befell this family. We bow our heads to the loss of life and convey our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family concerned.

Fortunately, there were also survivors in the group, despite the fall from a great height, with the flow of the waterfall.

This tragic accident happened at the Patalpani waterfall in Indore, when a father and his 4 kids celebrated the MBA graduation of the oldest daughter and got surprised by the freak flood. A tragedy for these 3 family members resulted - the father and 2 girls died while the 2 boys are alive.
