Boy, 13, leaves home after tiff with sis, joins kanwariyas, rescued
Prayagraj: A 13-year-old boy from Kaushambi, who had fled his house on July 10 allegedly after a fight with his younger sister, was rescued by cops from Prayagraj junction on Thursday night. A student of class 8 from Manjhanpur, the boy had reached Prayagraj on the same night and joined a group of kanwariyas and went straight to Sultanganj-Babadham in Jharkhand where he participated in all religious and spiritual activities for two weeks. The boy had only Rs 100 with him when he left the house and spent Rs 50 to reach Prayagraj. SP (Kaushambi) Rajesh Kumar told TOI: The boy's mother, Renu of Kokhraj, approached the Manjhanpur police saying that her minor son left the house at midnight on July 10 over domestic issues. Following this an FIR was lodged with Manjhanpur police and two teams were deployed to search for the boy." He added that in the meantime, cops learned that the boy was spotted talking to some kanwariyas near Prayagraj junction, so they started connecting with different kanwariya groups to gather more information. Cops found that the boy had become part of the Bol Bam group and possibly left for another state with the group. The police teams then contacted Kaushambi-based kanwariyas, who rushed to Sultanganj-Babadham and made efforts to find the exact location of the boy. As the group returned to Prayagraj after offering prayers, the cops also rushed to the junction and recovered the child. The SP said: "The boy, after fleeing from home, had reached Panki ki Tanki overbridge, then Prayagraj junction and joined a Bol Bam group of kanwariyas near Prayagraj junction. He then went to Sultanganj-Babadham in Jharkhand. He didn't carry any mobile phone and kept on roaming with the group until he was rescued by cops at Prayagraj junction." Interestingly, the group took complete care of the boy, including providing kanwar dress, meals and other essentials during the visit. On return, the boy told the police that he escaped from the house after a tiff with his sister and didn't want to have more altercations with her.

Death By Drowning: Turning Tears Into Winds Of Change
New Delhi: Advaitha Verma drowned in Pawna Lake in Lonavala, Maharashtra, on June 23 last year. The 18-year-old's death became a turning point for his parents, Sudesh Verma and Renu Kaul Verma, who chose to transform their grief into a mission to educate people and spread awareness about how to prevent drowning to save lives. They are launching a nationwide online Drowning Prevention Awareness Campaign on Friday. July 25 is officially recognised by the United Nations as World Drowning Prevention Day. Advaitha's mother recalled her son and his friends going for a picnic to Pawna Dam where he died. "There were no safety measures like lifeguards or signboards, and I lost my child in an untimely manner," said Renu. "The pain will remain forever, but now we have decided to launch a campaign to save people's lives, especially children, from drowning because life is precious." The teenager was a music prodigy and the Vermas will appropriately employ music to reach out to the masses. 'Advaitha – The Symphony Music Award 2025', a national singing contest that combines passion with purpose, will be held at New Delhi in Sept, with entries for the competition being accepted till Aug 15.

The parents will visit different schools and colleges to educate children about drowning prevention. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Anne Hegerty And Her Partner, Who You Will Easily Recognize Sport Pirate Undo "What we have faced, we don't want any other parents to suffer," the mother said. Sudesh and Renu were emphatic that drowning was preventable and awareness about this could save lives. That is why they aim to warn, educate and inspire a national awakening around water safety to ensure that no more dreams are lost to silent waters. "With every drowning, our society must rise like a symphony – not in silence, but in solidarity," said Sudesh. In Delhi, according to govt data, 211 drowning cases were logged last year in which 118 lives were lost and 66 rescued. In the first six months of this year, 102 people have lost their lives to drowning. Harish, who is in charge of a 15-member team of divers in north Delhi involved in rescue operations, said that in many cases they found children went to bathe and drowned due to riverine tides. Others, he said, died because they ventured into waters for bathing without knowing how to swim. There are cases also of people dying while saving others. The city also saw deaths in swimming pools. One of the cases was reported last month in which a six-year-old boy allegedly drowned in a swimming pool at an MCD community centre in northwest Delhi's Pitampura. His family alleged that there were no safety measures in place at the pool. According to the World Health Organization, at least three million people have drowned to death in the last decade. Last year, it listed drowning as the fourth leading cause of death for children aged 1-4 years and the third for children aged 5-14 years. WHO says 92% of drowning deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.

FIRs against corporator, contractor after man drowns in open drain
1 2 Lucknow: Two FIRs have been filed against a sitting corporator and a private contractor along with his firm in connection with the death of 43-year-old painter, who died after falling into a waterlogged and broken drain in Thakurganj area, sparking massive public outrage and concerns over civic apathy. The victim, Suresh Lodhi's wife Renu filed a complaint stating that her husband fell into a hidden, flooded drain while stepping out to buy tea on Saturday. The drain's cover was broken and submerged due to waterlogging, making it invisible. He was swept away and his body was recovered the next day near the IIM Road bypass drain. Renu accused corporator CB Singh of gross negligence, stating that multiple complaints and warnings about the broken and dangerous drain cover were submitted to him, both in person and through the public grievance portal. Despite repeated alerts about the potential for a fatal accident, no action was taken. "The drain was open and overflowing. We told them many times, but no repairs were done. My husband's death could have been prevented," she said in her statement. She further alleged that even after the tragedy, municipal workers failed to assist in searching for her husband's body, leaving the rescue entirely to local citizens. The FIR against the corporator was filed under the charges of causing death by negligence based on her complaint at Thakurganj police station. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?
