A passenger boat carrying nearly 100 members of a wedding party capsized in the fast-flowing Indus River in eastern Punjab province, killing at least 20 women and children.
65 people, including the bridegroom, were rescued and nearly two dozen people, including children, were still missing.
The cause of the accident was not immediately known, but apparently, the boat was overcrowded.
Recovered bodies rescued were women and children, the AP reported.
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif expressed his grief and sorrow over the incident and asked authorities to make their best efforts to rescue those passengers who are still missing.
