Islamabad: Two juveniles drowned in a pond at Banni Gala in Dhoke Jandi on Saturday while swimming, according to Rescue-1122.

The tragic incident occurred when three children had gone from their homes to swim in the pond. One child returned home, but the other two tragically drowned while swimming. The deceased juveniles have been identified as Muhammad Hassan, 10 years old, and Wisal Khan, 12 years old.

Rescue teams promptly arrived at the scene. The bodies were recovered from the pond and have been handed over to their families. Meanwhile, two minor kids aged five and six years were electrocuted when they inadvertently touched an electricity generator in Sector F-11/2.
