On the afternoon of September 8, the ro-ro passenger ferry Dwarka 7 became disabled  on the Mandovi River off Chorao Island, India. The Dwarka 7 was proceeding on its regular route between Ribandar and Chorao when it became disabled off Chorao.  The ferry had entangled a rope around its propeller and required assistance.

The Dwarka 7 was towed to Chorao where passengers were disembarked safely.  The ferry was then taken out of service and towed to a maintenance facility for repairs. No reports of injuries or pollution released. Reports state it is not uncommon for the river to be full of debris during monsoon season. The Dwarka 7 first started service in 2025. The ferry had been running only a few months prior to this incident.
