A man runs towards her to save her life before she drifts away beyond his reach, shows the video.

The woman risked her life to gain likes, comments, and followers on social media.
Despite repeated appeals from Shri Ganga Sabha, people continue to risk their lives for social media popularity.
Regularly, Shri Ganga Sabha takes cognisance of such incidents and informs the police so that necessary action can be taken against the individuals involved.
The police also take action from time to time against those who risk their lives by making reels and issuing fines and warnings. Despite this, such incidents in the holy city of Haridwar are not under control. It is important to note that due to heavy rainfall, rivers and streams are swelling, and the water level of the Ganga River is quite high. In such conditions, making reels while risking one’s life can be extremely dangerous.
