Prayagraj: A six-year-old girl scripted her success story when she crossed the Yamuna River in just 11 minutes. Vritika Shandilya, a resident of Preetam Nagar in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, left her trainers stunned by her feat.

Vritika first offered prayers at the famous Maa Lalita Devi temple and Lord Hanuman temple (Bargad ghat) and then sought blessings from her trainer Kamla Nishad before starting her journey to cross the river.
She crossed the river Yamuna in just 11 minutes whereas children of her age had earlier crossed the river by taking 15 or more minutes.
Nishad, meanwhile, claimed, “When Vritika was crossing the river, her parents, Pankaj Kumar Singh, and Nivedita Singh, along with grandparents and others were encouraging and cheering her.”
