PONDA
In a heart-wrenching tragedy, a two-year-old boy drowned in a nallah near his home in Usgaon on Thursday night.
The child’s family, originally from Jharkhand, was residing in a rented room while working in the local 'Kulagar' area.
The incident occurred when the young boy was playing outside as his mother was preoccupied with a phone call. Tragically, the child wandered towards the nearby nallah and accidentally fell in.
Upon hearing the commotion, the family rushed to the scene, and local residents quickly pulled the boy from the nallah.
He was promptly rushed to Pillaye Primary Health Centre by a 108 ambulance, but despite the urgent efforts of medical staff, the child was pronounced dead upon arrival.
An investigation into the incident is being conducted, with the panchanama performed under the supervision of Inspector Tushar Lotlikar of the Ponda Police Station.
