You must have seen many times that police of different states share interesting and message-giving videos from their official accounts. The purpose of these videos is not to scold people, but to warn them about such dangers due to which a little carelessness can turn into a major accident. Recently, one such video was shared by Uttarakhand Police, which caught people’s attention.
The video starts with a river in which water is flowing at a very high speed. How dangerous the rivers of hilly areas can be during the rainy season can be easily estimated by looking at this scene. The water of the river is in spate and its flow is so fast that any person should become alert after seeing it. But in the meantime, something is captured in the camera which both surprises and increases concern.
What is shown in this video?
Three boys are seen standing on a big stone in the middle of the river. There is fast flowing water all around and it seems that even the slightest mistake could cost their lives. Normally in such a situation people try to stay away from the river, but these three boys take exactly the opposite decision. After a few moments, they jump into the fast flowing river and start swimming.
Every person watching the video is forced to think how risky it can be to enter such a strong current. As normal as the flow of mountain rivers appears from the surface, it can be many times more dangerous from within. Strong current can throw any good swimmer off balance. Many times, big stones under water, deep pits or suddenly changing flow also become the cause of accidents. In such a situation, it cannot be considered wise to risk one’s life for the sake of thrill.
To convey this message to the people, Uttarakhand Police has shared this video on its social media account. The aim of the police is clear that instead of getting thrilled by watching such videos, people should learn from them. Especially during the rainy season, it is very important to take extra precautions around rivers, waterfalls and reservoirs. Many times people start doing such dangerous stunts just to make a video or to have fun with friends, but a small mistake can become a lifelong regret. Uttarakhand Police has shared this video from its official social media account @uttarakhandcops. The purpose of the video is not to scare anyone, but to make them understand that even a little carelessness can lead to a major accident.
