Two young girls lost their lives in the Dhasan river in Gona village under Palera police station area of Madhya Pradesh’s Tikamgarh district. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning when a group of children, including few girls, went to visit a temple near the river. One managed to call for help and were rescued by nearby villagers. This tragedy marks the second drowning incident within two days. On Monday, three girls died in similar circumstances in Katni district, Madhya Uttar Pradesh. The third girl, Bharti (15), survived and is now out of danger after receiving treatment at Tik amgarh District Hospital. The river is not very deep, the officer said, it is situated downstream from a dam that periodically releases water. This location is not commonly used by locals for bathing. The girls had initially gone to visiting a temple at around 9-9.30 a.m. but, on impulse, decided to wade into the waters of the river on Tuesday morning.
