Four children drown in Krishna river

Four children in the age group of 10-15 years, including two brothers, drowned in the Krishna near here today, officials said.

They had come along with two other children in an autorickshaw to take a look at the swollen river.

While the two children remained in the vehicle, the others alighted as soon as the driver, who brought them, went to answer nature's call.

They removed their shirts and got down to the river to bathe when they were washed away
