PALASBARI: Tragedy struck at Pashim Gahduli in Chhaygaon as a 14-year-old student drowned in the Kalahi River on Friday at around 4 pm.

The student, identified as Suman Shekhar Talukdar (14), a resident of Pashim Gadhuli village under Chhaygaon police station, who had come to the river with his friends, lost his life while bathing in the water.

The incident has raised concern among the local residents, who alleged that several people have met similar fates as a deeper pit left behind by sand miners has turned the river into a death trap.

Witnesses report that Talukdar and his friends were enjoying a day out when he ventured into the water, unknowingly stepping into one of these deeper sections. Despite the efforts of his friends and nearby residents to rescue him, Talukdar drowned before they could reach safety.
