A viral video shows teachers and pupils wading through flood‑ridden waters of the Son River in Madhya Pradesh to attend school, despite the danger posed by rising levels over a bridge.
A video that has gone viral on social media captures a dramatic scene on the Son River in Madhya Pradesh, where flood waters have risen high enough to flow over a bridge. The footage shows teachers accompanied by groups of children navigating the swift current to reach their school premises.
Local residents observed the convoy of teachers and students as they waded through the water, highlighting the urgency of continuing education despite the hazardous conditions. No official statements have yet been released regarding the safety measures or the number of participants involved.
Authorities are expected to assess the situation and advise on alternative arrangements for schooling, while also monitoring the river’s water level for any further rise that could endanger commuters.
The video underscores the broader challenges faced by communities in flood‑prone areas of central India, where infrastructure and daily routines are disrupted by seasonal river swelling.
Officials are urged to prioritize the safety of children and educators, and to provide timely information to parents and schools about the evolving flood scenario.
