However, the constant rain and flood-like situation overfilled the Champavati river and cut off transport facilities. The situation was so threatening that no boats were available to carry her to the other side of the river. So the woman decided to swim and cross the river without any option. Because she did not learn how to swim, her brother and another family member carried her on their shoulders and helped her transit the river.
