21-Year-Old Drowns in Dimna Lake While Swimming with Friends

A 21-year-old man from Giridih district, identified as Krishna Rana, tragically drowned in Dimna Lake on Wednesday afternoon. He had gone to the lake with nine of his friends. While swimming with his friends, he went under and drowned due to a lack of timely assistance. According to reports, approximately nine young men, all carpenters, had gone to Dimna Lake. Six of them entered the water to swim. Krishna Rana, who entered the water last, suddenly began to sink in the deeper part of the lake. His friends tried to rescue him but were unsuccessful and had to come out. Those present immediately informed the police, but the police did not arrive promptly. Instead of initiating rescue efforts, they engaged in inquiries. Fishermen arrived much later and retrieved the young man’s body from the water. Local residents say that this is not the first drowning incident at Dimna Lake. There have been several previous accidents, yet there are no lifeguards or warning signs in the lake area. After each incident, formalities are observed, but if proper arrangements were made, many lives could be saved.
