Bodies of Drowning Victims Recovered in India

In Chhattisgarh, a 10-year-old girl named Disha Diwakar drowned after falling from a bridge while trying to take a selfie, prompting authorities to warn against risky behavior near water bodies. Meanwhile, in Odisha, the body of Kajal Sahani, a Class IX student, was recovered after she jumped into the swollen Mahanadi River, with locals witnessing her jump but unable to intervene. Kajal, who left for school but instead parked her bicycle at the bridge, was swept away by strong currents exacerbated by water release from the Hirakud Dam. Her family is devastated, especially as they previously lost another daughter to drowning. Both tragedies highlight the dangers associated with water bodies during heavy rains and the need for increased awareness to prevent such incidents.
