रील बनाने के लिए लोग कुछ भी करने क तैयार हैं।
देखिए कैसे ये युवती तेज बहाव वाली नदी में उतरकर रील बना रही थी. लेकिन लहरों में उसको बैलेंस बिगाड़ गया और युवती नदी में समा गई।

The Uttarkashi administration has clearly stated that people should not perform such dangerous stunts for reels or social media content. Rivers, mountains, and other natural locations are as dangerous as they are beautiful. Even a small mistake can prove fatal.
This incident once again compels us to reflect, is a reel or video really more important than a life?
The administration has appealed to all tourists and local residents to exercise extreme caution at ghats and riverbanks and to strictly follow safety guidelines.
