    That is tragic and sad. In spite of knowing that rivers & sea waters are very dangerous to swim in monsoon time, why people venture into swimming ? two valuable lives have gone, leaving behind the families in deep lurch. While we pray that the souls of the two lecturers rest in peace, we pray to God that family may get the strength and courage to face this untimely loss of lives.
