Three Kids Drown in Chhattisgarh River
Three kids from a school in Chhattisgarh went to a river to bathe after school without telling their families.
They didn't come home, so their families got worried and looked for them.
The police and a special rescue team found their bikes and clothes by the river and started searching.
They found the kids in the river the next morning.
The river was flowing fast, and the kids got into deep water and couldn't swim back.
The government will give money to their families to help them.
Three students drowned in the Hasdeo River in Chhattisgarh's Janjgir-Champa district.
The victims were identified as Nelson Lakra (15), Yuvraj Rathore (14), and Rudra Singh Raj (11).
