A tragic drowning incident unfolded in St Inez near the Ganpati Mandir, where two men were caught in the waters of a small pond. Despite swift rescue efforts, one of the men could not be saved and was declared dead at the scene.
According to local sources, the area has become a popular but risky gathering spot, particularly during the monsoon season. Young people frequently visit to party, consume alcohol, and swim, often unaware of the hidden dangers.
Authorities are urging the public to exercise caution around water bodies, especially during the rainy season, as they investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
