Jowai, July 8: In a heart-wrenching incident, two young boys tragically drowned while swimming in a newly dug well in Sohmynting Village, located 12 kilometers from Jowai in the West Jaiñtia Hills on Sunday afternoon.
The victims have been identified as Sambud Suting, aged 10, and Armanki Suting, aged 11.
The unfortunate event unfolded when four boys went for a swim to the newly dug well. However, only Sambud and Armanki entered the well for a swim while the other two bathed outside. When the two boys did not resurface, their friends alerted nearby individuals, who immediately attempted to rescue them but to no avail.
An earth mover was also brought in to drain the water from the well and that’s when the bodies of the two boys were recovered.
