The incident took place around six o’clock on Sunday evening. A huge pit was dug to remove the soil behind the model school located in Rivai village. Due to the recent rains, the crater was full and had become quite deep. In the evening, some children of the village were playing nearby. During this time, due to a sudden slip of foot, three children fell into deep water and started drowning.
