How can we avoid drowning?

There are many ways to avoid drowning. First of all, fences should be put around places with water, especially around wells and ponds so that children cannot go there. To keep children away from water, a good place should be made for them to play so that their attention does not go towards water. Everyone should be taught how to save someone if he drowns. Like doing CPR or mouth-to-mouth breathing. Camps should also be organized to teach people all this.

It is also very important to teach children about staying safe in water in schools. Good rules should also be made for boats and ships. Like wearing a life jacket, taking good care of ships and following safety rules. Apart from this, good arrangements should be made in view of the possibility of floods. For example, building flood-proof places and informing people in advance that floods are possible. This can save many lives.

Isn't this a public safety issue?

In India, about 38,000 people drown every year. This is a very serious issue, which is a threat to public safety for many reasons. The youth are the most affected by drowning deaths. These youth are the future of the country and their death affects the country's development journey.

Every drowning incident puts an economic burden on the family. Many families are completely ruined. Instability is created in the society. people live in fear and anxiety. Drowning incidents keep people away from water, due to which water resources are not used properly and development is hindered. Such a large number of drowning incidents also show that there are probably some flaws in our security system. The rules for preventing drowning should be made strict and strict action should be taken against those who violate them. This is a serious issue on which everyone will have to work together. Only then can we deal with this problem and save people's lives.
