President Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday expressed his condolences after 11 people died after a boat capsized in the Godavari River near Devipatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
"Saddened to hear of capsizing of the boat in the Godavari river in Andhra Pradesh. Thoughts and prayers with the bereaved families. Local authorities are undertaking rescue and relief efforts," President Kovind tweeted.
