Khanar's Budhikhola Goes Viral: Entertainment Amidst Fears of Risk

The Budhikhola river located in Khanar, Itahari Sub-metropolitan City, has currently become a viral sensation on social media. Because the natural formation of the river allows for sliding, thousands of domestic tourists are flocking here daily. As photos and videos spread across social media, this location has established itself as a tourist destination in a short period of time.

However, along with this fun, a serious security challenge has also emerged. Locals report that many individuals are getting injured while sliding on the rocks. In the absence of adequate security arrangements, rescue teams, and warning signs, there is an increased risk that a major accident could occur at any time.

While the crowd of tourists has had a positive impact on local businesses, relevant authorities appear silent regarding its sustainability and safety. It has become extremely necessary for the local administration and stakeholders to implement proper management in a timely manner to promote domestic tourism while making the Budhikhola area safe and organized.
