In a video, villagers in Bastar are seen getting ready to cross a big river, which is carrying a strong current and whose water levels have risen due to heavy rain, without a boat.
But they have improvised, at least for children, to cross the river, albeit in a way that is seen as dangerous. In a video shot from the other side of the river, the villagers are seen holding a large cauldron to be used as a boat for children.
The dangerous method involves a child to be placed inside the utensil, after which an adult would tow it across the river, leading to a very high-risk situation as the cauldron would be carried over strong currents of the swollen river.
