In response to a recent drowning at Gajpalla Waterfall, the Gariaband district administration has increased security at local waterfalls. The Forest Department and police are working together to ensure safety, particularly at the Chindrapagar and Gajpalla waterfalls.
Officials have noted that some tourists engage in dangerous behavior for social media, leading to increased risk. Enhanced surveillance is now in place to prevent further incidents.
Key changes include:
* Road barricades at Chindrapagar Waterfall.
* Local staff monitoring the area.
* Alerts issued in nearby villages.
* Warning signs and posters banning stunts and swimming.
* Temporary closure of Chindrapagar Waterfall.
