Bhubaneswar: With four tourists losing their lives in the sea in a span of two days, the Puri district administration on Friday installed red flags on the sea beach near Swargadwar to alert tourists.
The administration has placed red flags in a bid to restrict people from going to accident-prone areas in the sea. The preventive step came after four tourists drowned while taking a bath in the sea in two days, reports stated.
A man and his son along with their friends were enjoying themselves in the sea when a huge tide came and swept away three of them. While the lifeguards managed to rescue one of them, the father-son duo met with a watery grave.
Similarly, two other tourists also from West Bengal were taking bath in the sea when they were swept away by huge waves. Despite the deployment of lifeguards, the rise in drowning deaths has become a matter of serious bother.
