3 drown during immersion

At least three boys drowned and two were rescued when they were swept away in the Versova Creek waters, the BMC Disaster Control said yesterday.

The tragedy occurred late on Sunday night when the boys had gone for the immersion of Lord Ganesh idols marking the end of the 10-day long Ganeshotsav.

The local lifeguard and Versova villagers managed to rescue two boys.
