Two Girls Die in Jodhpur After Mistaking Pesticide for Water

In Jodhpur, India, two young girls tragically died after drinking pesticide.

They found the poison in unmarked bottles, thinking it was water.

The incidents happened in different homes but had the same cause: unsafe storage of chemicals.

Police are investigating and say the families stored the pesticide carelessly.

The community is upset and wants better rules for keeping dangerous substances safe, like making sure bottles are labeled clearly and kept out of children's reach.
