Navi Mumbai witnesses tragic drowning of two young boys during Navratri immersion
Two young boys, aged nine and ten, lost their lives in Vashi's Kopri lake on Wednesday morning. The incident occurred after they entered the water to retrieve money thrown into the lake during the Navratri immersion rituals. The deceased have been identified as Ganesh Sujit Gupta and Golu Mansoori. The tragedy took place around 10.30 am, a day after the immersion of Goddess Durga idols and ghat pots in the lake.
Both boys were residents of Kopri village and had entered the water with their friends to collect the offered money. However, they misjudged the water's depth and tragically drowned. Local residents have expressed concerns over safety measures at the lake, where children frequently swim. They have demanded the deployment of security guards, installation of warning signboards, and better access control to prevent such accidents.
