India: 24 students drown in Beas river

[Edevelop]

Shimla- Rescue workers recovered five bodies of students who drowned in the Beas river near Himachal Pradesh's Mandi district, while the fate of 19 others washed away in the flooded Beas river is still not known, an official said.
At least 24 students, including six girls, of the V.N.R. Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology in Hyderabad were reported missing after strong currents in the mighty Beas river washed them away.
Their chances of survival of the rest of them were bleak, officials said.
More than 60 students and faculty members were on an excursion to the picturesque tourist resort of Manali. Some of them were getting themselves photographed on the banks of the river in Thalaut area near the Hanogi Mata temple when they were reportedly washed away as the flow in the river suddenly increased.

Sad...very sad. years back we in our college had a similar incident. There is River Mahanadi behind our college and Hostel. Some 7 students (much junior to us) went to have a bath there and the Hirakud dam released water without warning. Those 7 died.

This is coincidence or not "Why only Engineering students die due to drowning?" They die during Picnic, in sea, near Water falls....Why?

There should be a commission on it and he should be accountable for it. 24 people died and he is giving fucking excuse. He should take moral responsibility of this incident and should step down.

He is an arrogant and too convinced of his holds in the state. Shameful to hear such words from a CM.

I hope himachalis punish this arrogant political scum.

Because the it's no functional warning apparatus! The sirens don't work and are not replaced. All the allocated money is eaten by officers in the middle.

And today that has cost 26 young lives.

Bcs Engineering and Medical students get special attention in media.......while all others are clubbed under the banner 'Students'.

How did you get to that conclusion? Students from other fields too have drowned, in proportional numbers. Its just that engineering students go out to such places more than others, as well as there are large number of them, compared to others.

Doesn't this reminds of yearly sacrifices to Patalpani?
