A tragic event unfolded in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur district as four people, including three children, lost their lives after a heavy downpour swelled a stream, sweeping them away, local police reported on Tuesday.

The heartbreaking incident occurred on Monday near Bhanwartank's Marhi Mata temple. A group of 40 individuals, visiting from Balodabazar-Bhatapara and Bilaspur districts, was caught off-guard as they attempted to cross the stream on their return trip from the temple.

Efforts to rescue the victims were immediately launched at 6 pm by the State Disaster Response Force, police, and revenue officials. However, the swift current proved fatal for the victims whose bodies were later recovered, with post-mortem examinations underway.
