The Madhya Pradesh government has formed a one-member judicial commission to investigate a cruise boat accident in the Bargi Dam that killed 13 people.
The panel, led by retired high court judge Sanjay Dwivedi, will submit its report to the government in three months.
The commission will examine the causes of the accident, rescue efforts, and fix responsibility.
It will also make recommendations for boat safety, including audits and certifications under the Inland Vessels Act and NDMA Boat Safety Guidelines.
A judicial commission carries greater public credibility and institutional weight than a routine departmental inquiry.
