Banakalagi Niti In Puri Temple Today; No Darshan For 4 Hours

As per reports, eight students had decided to go bathing in the Pench canal. These students lived in the Indira Gandhi Hostel at Ghoti Chowki in Bori and attended the Indira Gandhi Vidyamandir and Junior College, located about 10 kilometres from Ramtek on Tumsar Road in the district. However, of the eight students, four drowned.

The four students who drowned have been identified as Mandeep Avinash Patil, a Class 11 student, Anant Yogesh Sambare, a Class 7 student, Mayank Kunal Meshram from Class 8, and Mayur Khushal Bangre, a student of Class 9. Their bodies are yet to be recovered as a search operation is underway.

Most of the students living in the hostel had gone to their native villages due to continuous holidays on Dussehra, Sunday and Dhammachakra Pravartan Day. Only a few children were staying at the hostel when the incident happened. The unfortunate event occurred when eight of all the students who stayed in the hostel decided to go bathing in the Pench Canal which flows behind their school, Indira Gandhi Vidyamandir. The fun plan, however, turned out a life-ending decision for them.

Initially, five students jumped into the canal. Misjudging the flow of the water, all five began to get swept away. One student managed to survive, but four were carried away by the strong current. Three other students remained on the canal bank and shouted for help from the locals who later called the police.

The police personnel and other officials rushed to the spot and launched a search operation. The divers resorted to search operation at the canal.

The police are conducting a search operation as the bodies are yet to recovered.

Further details are awaited.

"Respectful tributes to the renowned scientist and former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam ji on his birth anniversary. His vision and thoughts will greatly contribute to achieving the goal of a Viksit Bharat," PM Modi wrote in a post on X.

In the post, PM Modi shared a video showcasing various photos of both leaders together, in which he praised Dr. Kalam for embracing challenges.

"Two things came naturally to Abdul Kalam -- ease and simplicity. There are two types of people in this world: those who look for opportunities and those who look for challenges. Abdul Kalam always sought challenges," the Prime Minister said, emphasising how this characteristic defined Kalam's life.

PM Modi further remarked on Dr Kalam's unique achievements, noting how rare it was for someone to become a "Rashtra Ratna" (Jewel of the Nation) before assuming the role of Rashtrapati (President).

"This distinction speaks volumes about the extraordinary life and accomplishments of Abdul Kalam," the Prime Minister added.

Reflecting on a personal memory, PM Modi recalled a moment when Dr Kalam was asked how he would like to be remembered.

"He simply replied, 'I would like to be remembered as a teacher.' This response not only showed his deep respect for teachers but also highlighted his unwavering convictions and lifelong commitments," the Prime Minister noted.

PM Modi concluded by affirming the nation's dedication to upholding the values imparted by Dr Kalam. "With Abdul Kalam's blessings, we will strive to achieve the goals set by his teachings. This will be the greatest tribute to him," he said.
