The police have arrested four people, including guards, for negligence

Summer is here and the city's swimming pools are sure to be full up. That is why warning bells must toll, reading reports like the one in this newspaper that detailed how a nine-year-old boy drowned in the Vasai Virar City Municipal Corporation's swimming pool over the weekend.
The police have arrested four people, including guards, for negligence. The report says that a group of children had gone swimming. While their parents had accompanied them to the venue, they were not in the pool with the kids. At the end of two hours, the children rejoined their parents but one boy didn't. It was only after a frantic search that his body was found at the bottom of the adults' pool.
