Banihal/Jammu- Two teenage boys, who had gone for a bath in the Chenab in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramban district, are feared to have drowned in the river, police said on Sunday.
A rescue operation is underway but there was no trace of the boys who might have been swept away by the strong current while taking a bath near the Julla bridge in Ramban town, Station House Officer (SHO) Ramban Sandeep Charak said.
