Tamil Nadu man sacrifices life to save two from drowning in Thamirabarani river
Fire and rescue services said due to the incessant rain over the past week, water level had increased multifold in Thamirabarani.
On Sunday afternoon, two boys — Akilesh (13) of Marthandam and I Mano (17) of Vayakkaraivilai —fell into the river accidentally when they were walking on the small bridge built over the check dam on the river at Kuzhithurai.
The boys were walking on the overpass to reach a ground to play cricket when the younger one accidentally fell into the river, sources said. The senior boy jumped immediately into the river to save his friend, said Kuzhithurai fire station officer K Chandran. Seeing the boys struggling in water, Peter, who was washing his clothes nearby, jumped into the river.
