Q:I have 2 children and I'm relocating to Saravanampatti with them. But I heard about the recent dangers of the abandoned wells that have no safety measures? What is the situation now?
Latest Answer: Actually what happened was, in April a 23 year old boy went swimming in the tank with a couple of minors who were in school. He didn't use of the thermocol floats that the other boys were using and as a result, he drowned. The others tried their best to rescue him but nothing helped. They decided to keep this a secret but eventually they told their teacher what had happened and his body was uncovered from the well. These situations should be avoided, it is just so unfortunate. Even a 3 year old boy drowned in a water storage tank right behind his mother who had just turned her back on him for a second. Not many people in Coimbatore are used to swimming so they shouldn't try all these things and risk their lives. But now action has been taken and these tanks and well will definitely not be accessible to the public anymore.
