It has been a tragic weekend for at least four families. Four youths have been drowned in the sea off Dadrapada coast in Kelwe in Maharashtra's Palghar district, the police said. They were part of a group of seven youngsters who had gone for a swim in the sea and this despite the sea being choppy due to heavy rains. Three of the seven managed to swim to safety.

It is shocking why young people continue to jump into lakes, ponds and seas even after there being so many reports of people being swept away by currents, especially during monsoon.
