Two families lose siblings in a tube well, swamp

DASKA:

Four children drowned in two incidents reported from the Daska area during the past 48 hours.

According to local officials, nine-year-old Mudassir and eight-year-old Umair, sons of Qamar, drowned while bathing after going along with their mother to their outhouse. The siblings went to bathe in the water flowing from a tube well to irrigate the fields. Their mother got busy with some work.

When she turned towards the children after some time, she saw that both of them had drowned and their bodies were floating in the water.

The family is a resident of the Thakramahe village, who had settled in Ada Adamke for work.

In a similar incident the next day, two brothers drowned in a pond while bathing buffaloes.

The incident took place in the Mothra area.

Zain, aged 15, and 12-year-old Rizwan were bathing buffaloes in the pond near their outhouse when the cattle went into the deep water.

The elder brother got into the water to bring back the buffaloes, but sank after getting stuck in the mud under the water.

Seeing his brother in danger, the younger sibling also went into the muddy pond to help him, but got stuck in the swamp and died of drowning.

The news of the death of the children spread like wildfire in the area.

Rescuers also faced difficulty in pulling out the bodies from the pond.

They were handed over to an uncle of the victims and buried in their native village amid gloom among the locals.
