Drowning

In India people are so crazy about swimming in sea, they ignore low tides, warning â  boards, warning by local people. They simply jump in the and that in deep water without swimming skills. Forget about swimming in the sea. Even at swimming pool people never learn to swim but they enter only to enjoy water. They treat swimming pool as resort.

Like a crash helmet is must for all 2 wheelresso life jacket must be must for all entering water..
A 2.5 litre empyt cola bottle held near the chin is enough to prevent drowning so a cheep affordable light weight jackets must be made available and compulsary for all those entering or playing even in knee deep waters..
In army even while sitting in a moterboat life belts ae compulsary, so it must be for all civilians..
Other things are also important ..

However, India with its filthy water bodies and rivers, we will not have many such deaths as people will not dare to go in for a swim.

Can anyone name which is the cleanest river in India?

The latest report of Central Pollution Control Board says that amongst India's 10 major rivers, water of Narmada is not only the cleanest but even fit for drinking.
