Two teenage boys recently drowned after they went for a swim inside a dam in Thane District of Maharashtra. In reports, officials had stated that since there had been a robust rainfall this monsoon, the Chikhloli dam in which the boys perished, was filled to the brim. This dam supplies water to the residents of Ambernath.

We often have drowning incidents during the monsoon season. There are reports of people being swept away in the waters, or, death by drowning on picnics or elsewhere. This though comes after a month at least since the rains have abated.
