Summer brings with it reports about drowning, both in the city and beyond. Youngsters enjoying a break from studies venture out for picnics and see their friends perish in water bodies like lakes and ponds.

Often, these persons are larking about in the water and get carried away by the strong current. Three MBA students, two boys and a girl, drowned on Thursday while swimming at the popular Mulshi dam. The dam in Pune is a favourite with Mumbaikars too. While one must enjoy the great outdoors and picnics are fun options in the summer, one has to do so with great responsibility.
