Tragedy Strikes Mypadu Beach: Three Young Lives Lost

In a tragic turn of events, three senior Intermediate students lost their lives in the turbulent waters of Mypadu beach, Nellore district, on Sunday. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the power of nature and the importance of heeding safety warnings.

The students, Pathan Humayun, Sameed, and Pathan Mohammad Tajeem, all 17 years old, had ventured into the sea for a recreational swim, unaware of the impending danger. Eyewitness accounts reveal that the trio ignored warnings about the rough tides and entered the water, only to be swiftly caught in the strong currents. As they struggled, their desperate situation caught the attention of nearby tourists, who raised the alarm.

Local fishermen and lifeguards sprang into action, racing against time to save the young swimmers. Despite their valiant efforts, the rescue attempt proved futile, as all three students had tragically drowned by the time help arrived. The fishermen then faced the somber task of retrieving the bodies, a grim reminder of the day's events. The Indukurupeta police were promptly notified and registered a case, ensuring that the incident is thoroughly investigated.

The news of this tragedy has cast a shadow over the communities of Kottamitta and Narayanareddypeta, where the students resided. The grief is palpable as friends and families come to terms with this devastating loss. Kovur MLA Vemireddy Prashanthi Reddy, expressing her sorrow, emphasized the importance of water safety and the need for vigilance, especially during such unpredictable weather conditions. This incident serves as a solemn reminder of the potential dangers that lurk beneath the surface of seemingly harmless recreational activities.
