Three 13‑year‑old boys drowned when they slipped from a rocky shore during a beach outing in Udupi district, resulting in a sudden tragedy for local families.
The incident, which occurred on the evening of Thursday, took place near the popular Kallada Beach, where strong currents are common. Rescue workers, including the Udupi coast guard, arrived promptly but were unable to save the children, who were known to enjoy exploring the surf during school holidays.
The loss has shocked the community, prompting local officials to call for stricter beach safety measures and better signage. A statement from the Udupi District Magistrate emphasised the need for vigilance among beachgoers and the expansion of rescue training for volunteers. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
