A double-decker boat carrying more than 30 passengers capsized off a beach in southern India, killing more than 20 people including about seven children.
The horror happened on Sunday night near the estuary of Poorappuzha River in Tanur, a coastal town in Kerala state’s Malappuram district, and most of the passengers were tourists.
The dead included children who had come for a ride on the boat during their school holidays, Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman told the Press Trust of India news agency.
