Despite many youngsters drowning in the river, youngsters still continue swimming in rivers, lakes. The latest Ibrahimpatnam Drowning is symptomatic of a malaise in society. In the Sea as well, despite Ropes indicating Danger Zone, Youth cross them regularly to show off their prowess. This false pride has caused anguish to many a mother in India.

When there are BARRICADES, they are meant for our safety just like Helmet. If we ignore the barricades, it is our life that is threatened.
Praveen, Chaitanya and Rajkumar tried to save Srinath and got washed away at Pavitra Sangam Ghat at Ibrahimpatnam in Krishna district. All four were studying second year in MIC Engineering College. Sairam, the fifth friend and lone survivor recalls that this point was their meeting point after completing first year exams and hence they again met at same point before classes started.
