Fifty feared dead after boat capsizes in India was the coverage of this on wikinews several days ago. Please, DO NOT add details to this that were reported after the date on the Wikinews article. Feel free to write a followup story with more recent developments. See n:WN:ARTICLE if you've never contributed to Wikinews. --Brian McNeil /^talk 18:47, 3 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wrong info above. The said news article refers to a boat tragedy that took place in the north Indian state of Bihar on 28th September, while the Thekkady boat tragedy occurred on the 30th September in the Southern Part of India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.252.168.120 (talk) 06:33, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
