A tragic incident unfolded near Baggi Chowk when two young men are feared to have drowned in the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) canal, swept away by powerful currents. According to local police sources, three friends had visited the canal for a Friday night party when the tragedy occurred.
Upon returning, one of the youths accidentally entered the canal and slipped, prompting his friend to jump in to attempt a rescue. Unfortunately, both were quickly engulfed by the canal’s strong currents and have been missing since. Authorities immediately launched a search and rescue operation, led by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), but so far, they remain unaccounted for.
A third party member, Harjeet, who witnessed the incident, promptly contacted the police and was detained for further questioning. The severity of the situation has drawn concern from local leaders, including Lohar Panchayat head, Panna Lal, who has also reached out to the police for more information. Search and rescue efforts continue as the community holds onto hope.
