Five-year-old Mysuru boy drowns in a reservoir

Five year old boy washed away in Harangi canal

 

In a tragic incident on Sunday, a five-year-old boy, who was playing in the knee-deep water, was washed away when there was a sudden rise in the Harangi reservoir water-level. 

 

The child's grandmother called for help but the boy had been washed far away from the spot. The local people and the firefighters immediately launched an operation but the boy was found dead, 300m away from the river bank. 

 

The local people launched a protest and urged the police to file a case of negligence against the village officials. The villagers also refused to release the body for post-mortem. The police summoned the officials to enquire about the incident, however, they reasoned that the villagers were notified about water-release.
