Sometimes the destination is so big that even death comes on the way, even then the steps do not stop. One such spirit was seen in Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand, where two young people landed in the swollen river to take the PCS examination. Neither did they have any bridge nor a boat. It was just the intention – to appear in the exam, to get your dreams. This video, which is going viral on social media, is not just a dangerous incident, but a glimpse of that struggle and passion which is still alive among the youth of our country. But there is also a picture of negligence in it, the same negligence which was made full from both administration and students.
Students going to take the exam stranded in the rising river
This video, which came out from Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, is shocking. It can be clearly seen in the video how two youths are trying to cross a swollen river by risking their lives. The waves of the river are extremely sharp, the water is flowing with full speed and no permanent bridge or safe path is seen around. But these youth had less time, as they had to reach their center for PCS preliminary examination. According to the information, this incident occurred when the river was in spate due to continuous rains and many small bridges were washed away.
Youth goes to take PCS exam on your life palm!
We have often heard from our elders that they used to cross the rivers and donkeys in their time and go to school. But in 2025, all the same has to be seen. The video is being told of Mayali of Rudraprayag in Uttarakhand. Red rains on one side pic.twitter.com/okurmodsei

Despite this, these youths stepped into the river, after which they were badly trapped there. A young man first tried to cross the river. The speed of water was so fast that its balance was saved. But he somehow handled himself. Then another young man also moved forward on the same path.
The bridge was broken due to continuous rain
Seeing both of them crossing the river in the video, people standing around are screaming, trying to stop them. But perhaps the examination clock was on the head and the passion in them is such that no one listened to it. In fact, due to continuous rains, Kunagad Gadera located in the block Jakholi area has come to a complete boom. The rain became so tremendous that the motor bridge between Ponthi and the muniah broke. Due to the demolition of this bridge, the contact of about two dozen villages of Bangar Patti area has been completely cut off from other areas.
