Two Howrah men drown in Digha
Digha: Two tourists from Howrah drowned in Digha on Tuesday morning. The life savers in the area managed to save two other persons who lost control in the choppy sea at Digha while taking a dip. The deceased were identified as Noor Mohmmad Midya (48) and Maidul Naskar (38). Four of them had got down into the sea on Tuesday afternoon.
According to locals, four tourists were seen at the beach near Old Digha on Tuesday.
It was around 2pm when the life savers spotted them standing on the beach. They asked the four to go back to their hotels as the sea was getting rough. The tourists, however, ignored the warnings and went deeper into the sea when suddenly they lost control.
“Four of them have come together to attend some official work and were staying at a hotel here. Hotels in Digha were, more or less, empty since the cyclone Yaas had hit West Bengal coast. The life savers had initially stopped them from getting into the sea. The moment they went towards New Digha, the tourists jumped into the water. They did not pay any heed to them and went deeper into the sea,” said a local.
Four of them were rushed to the hospital after they were rescued. All of them, including the deceased, are residents of Jagadishpurhat in Liluah.
