Watch: Kids Cross River In Aluminium Pots To Reach School In Assam | Read

Little children in Assam's Biswanath district risk their lives every day to go to school. A video of the students crossing a swift flowing river in aluminium pots grabbed attention on social media on Friday. Children in a small village called Sootea have to carry pots, big enough for them to get into, along with their school bags and walk down to the river bank. There are no bridges or boats. They climb into the pots and row using both hands, to get to the other side of the river. And it is the same mode of transport on their way back home.
