Now, three youth have drowned in different canals during separate incidents during the last two days. The Rescue 1122 personnel were still busy finding the dead bodies, as they were facing difficulties due to fast flow of water in the canal.
When contacted, the DCO said that people throng the banks of the rivers and canals especially Head Marala for picnicking there, which resulted in rush of people. He said that he personally visited the spots where the said three youths have drowned in UCC Canal and BRB Canal.
