Mangalore, May 12: In a tragic incident reported from Manjanady, Ullal, two-and-half-year-old  Karthik, son of Manjanday Kallatta's Ravi Achar died after slipping into a water tank while playing near the house. 

It is said that he climbed on to the 3-ft tall tank and fell in accidentally. Karthik died on spot as he could not breath once he fell into the tank.

The tank was installed near the house to store water distributed by panchayat. 

The Acharya family came to Ullal from Udupi about 18 months back and took Srinivas Alva's house on rent. 

The boy was playing near the house for sometime. When the parents came to take him back into the house, he could not be found anywhere. By the time they checked the tank, the boy had already died of suffocation.

Konaje police has registered a case.

    A very sad and unfortunate incident. Children are very inquisitive to see what is around them such as open wells and in this case this water tank even if there is an open ground where they can play around. There are many such deaths of such young children and my advice is that parents or elders under the care of young children should not be left alone. A young life lost and unhappiness for the parents who gave birth to that angel child.

    Tragic as the situation is the event speaks of dire negligence on part of the elders. Awareness every second is must when it comes to taking care of a toddler.
    God give everybody concerned strength to bear the grief.
