Udupi, Oct 9: In a tragic incident, a 13-year-old boy drowned in a quarry pit near Janatha Colony in Saibrakatte, Brahmavar on Monday October 8 noon.
 
The deceased has been identified as Akshay Kumar (13), son of Kushala Poojary of Janatha Colony.

All three students were studying at the Saibrakatte primary school.



The incident took place when Akshay along with Suresh and Srikanth went for a swim to the nearby quarry as it was a holiday.
 
Sources said that, since the children were not aware of the depth, they began to drown. Meanwhile a few women who were washing clothes nearby tried to rescue them and succeeded in saving only two. Efforts to save Akshay went in vain.
 
Brahmavar police along with the fire brigade rushed to the spot.
 
A case has been registered against the quarry owner.

    1)Swimming training should be compulssory in school curriculam activity like PET,Athletic etc

    2)Quarry owners should sign an undertaking letter with mining department while issuing license, they are the full responsible to make boundry wall around the Quarry because it is dangerous to cows as well.

    I hope our qualified disrict admin (IAS,IPS) will open their eyes now atlest before people start the Revolution.
