In a heartbreaking incident, three minor girls tragically drowned in a waterfall in Moolagummi village, Alluri Sitharama Raju, while attempting to take a selfie, authorities reported on Thursday.

The incident occurred when a group of four girls, enjoying summer holidays from school, ventured too close to the waterfall. Despite the small size of the waterfall, the girls, none of whom knew how to swim, were swept into the water. Sadly, only one girl survived and is currently receiving medical treatment.

The local police have begun the process of registering a case, highlighting the dangers of seemingly innocuous natural sites, especially for those without swimming skills. Officials urge caution during the holiday season when students have more free time.
