Pakistan, June 30 -- Two persons including a child drowned while swimming in the Karachi canal, also known as the K B Feeder canal, near RBB Colony in Jamshoro district on Sunday.

The police informed that 2 children belonging to the same locality drowned while swimming in the canal as the government consistently fails to enforce the ban on swimming in the Indus River and its canals.

The police added that the dead body of Rano Solangi was pulled out from the canal which was in the high flow while the search for Rehman Solangi's body continued.

Meenhan Solangi, Rehman's father, complained that the search for his drowned child began late while Rano's body was fished out by the other local people who were already swimming in that canal.
