Two meet watery grave in Bogatha waterfalls

A 11-years-old boy and a youth E. Satish (34) died instantly after drowning in the water at Bogatha waterfalls here on Thursday.

The boy identified as R. Harsith Reddy and Satish went with their families for picnic to Bogatha waterfalls in Wazedu mandal. They began swimming in the water and got trapped in shallow waters.

They struggled to come out, but by the time the rescue team reached them, they breathed their last.

Hanamkonda natives

They belonged to Bhavani Nagar of Hanamkonda. Security personnel and rescue teams were present at the waterfalls.

Though they warned the tourists not to venture into deep waters, they paid no heed to them.

One person saved

When the security personnel were having their lunch, they moved further away from the shore and could not swim back.

When other tourists alerted the rescue team about the situation, they rushed to the spot and managed to save one person but the two others could not be saved.
