    Some people are scarcely interested in taking care of themselves while venturing out into the sea. Police should make sure that the death certificate notes that it was a suicide. Also, of late, there have been too many such incidents. I suggest a separate category for 'drowning/washing away' news.

    People come from non coastal areas think sea is a water pond like they see in their places.

    why these boys are coming to dargha as well as sea shore for suicide I can't understand every time drown means some one from malanad or west Karnataka people only, because they does't know about sea rough or water waves, they might think enjoy with water or some selfie etcc,,,,
    if they want to kill them self let them die there only if their intention dargha or temple or any visit there and go back why coming to swim or play with sea water
    RIP - innalillahha wa inna ilayai rajioun

    Whoever can swim in the sea in any weather without going missing can only become an expert swimmer. I think only navy commandoes has that capabilities..
