The problem of drowning is more in India...why?The problem of drowning is different in rich and poor countries. In rich countries, drowning incidents areless because there are good facilities like lifeguards, warning signboards and emergency services. People there know how to avoid drowning and also learn to swim. Not only this, people there also follow the rules of safety. Even if an accident happens, good doctors and help are available quickly. That is why fewer people die of drowning there.But the situation is different in India. The population of our country lives near rivers, ponds and wells. This is also necessary for them. Because they need it for bathing, washing clothes and fetching water. But there are no safety arrangements at these places, neither is there anyone to take care of them nor do people know about the danger of drowning. That is why drowning incidents are more common here.Different stories of drowning in every state!In India, more than 70 thousand people died by drowning in the year 2019 itself.
