Rivers are an integral part of life and literature. Poets and novelists have written pages about the beauty and the destructive power of rivers. A.K.Ramanujan's River is a classic example. This image was taken during our trip to Kulu Manali in 2014. This river runs parallel to the road towards these tourist destinations. The Beas River disaster occurred on 8 June 2014, when 24 second-year engineering students—including six women and eighteen men—along with a tour operator from V.N.R. Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology, Hyderabad, lost their lives in the Beas River in Himachal Pradesh. The incident happened in the Thalout area of Mandi district after a sudden release of water from the upstream Larji hydroelectric project, which caused an unexpected surge in the river.
