Two Punjab natives and a jawan were killed in two separate incidents of drowning in Himachal Pradesh's Una district, police said today.
Una Superintendent of Police Diwakar Sharma told PTI that the youths had come in different groups with their friends to visit Bangana area and they jumped into several feet deep waters yesterday to take bath without realising the depth and lost their lives.
The two drowned youths from adjoining Punjab have been identified as Sumit Kalia (31) of Jalandhar and Satbir Singh (27) of Hoshiarpur district, Bangana Deputy Superintendent of Police (Head Quarter) Ashok Verma said.
Kalia drowned in Gobind Sagar lake in Mandli area near Garib Nath temple and Singh drowned in Nangal Dam reservoir near Bharmouti area, he said.
