Tourist Rescues Man Swept Away at Karnataka Dam
Imagine a big lake made by a dam.
Sometimes, the water in the lake gets very high.
Then, the people in charge open a gate to let some water out.
One day, a man was standing near the water when he fell in!
Luckily, a tourist saw what happened and jumped in to help him.
The tourist grabbed a rope, and other people helped pull the man to safety.
This dam, which is the oldest in Karnataka, also has plans for fun activities like boating.
Sadly, at another dam nearby, some people were swept away by strong water, and some are still missing.
A man was swept away by strong currents at Karnataka's Vani Vilas Sagar dam.
