Two Labourers Feared Drowned in Ambala Canal
Two young workers named Sagar and Gurvinder were painting the gates of a canal in Ambala.
They were standing on a wooden platform held by ropes.
Suddenly, the rope moved, and Sagar fell into the water.
Gurvinder tried to save him but fell too.
The water was high because of recent rain, and the current was strong.
The police are searching for them but haven't found them yet.
The families of the workers have been told about the incident.
Two labourers, Sagar and Gurvinder, are feared drowned in a canal at Budhera Head, Ambala-Kurukshetra border.
They fell into the canal while painting the gates of the headwork on Friday, January 31.
The incident occurred due to a rope jerking, causing Sagar to fall, and Gurvinder to jump in to save him.
The water level was high due to recent rainfall, and the current swept them away.
Police launched a search operation with divers, but the labourers are yet to be traced.
