MUMBAI: At least 13 persons have perished in several incidents, mostly via drowning, within the first monsoon weekend up to now 72 hours.
Five persons, including four of a circle of relatives, from the Immaculate Conception Colony in Borivali drowned at a seashore picnic in Ratnagiri on Sunday afternoon.
They are Monica D'Souza, 44, Sanomi D'Souza, 22, Richa D'Souza, 19, and Mathew D'Souza, 18, but even so their neighbour and circle of relatives friend Kenneth Masters, 56.
The incident took place on the small Aare-Ware Beach near Devrukh in Ratnagiri after they have been en route to famed Ganpatipule.
Apparently ignoring Met warnings, the victims ventured into the choppy waters, but have been trapped in a unexpected whirlpool that built up at an intersection within the Arabian Sea and a creek along the seashore.
Their our bodies have been most probably to reach Mumbai on Monday for the ultimate rites in Borivali West's IC Colony which plunged into a pall of gloom.
Two Thane cousins -- Anand Gupta and Nandini Gupta -- drowned after they accidentally walked into a ditch filled with water, which was dug up to lay a sewage pipeline, on Sunday.
There have been no caution signs near the ditch excavated near a highway via a private contractor appointed via the Thane Municipal Corporation.
In any other weekend tragedy, three youths drowned in two separate incidents on the Bhuigaon Beach in Palghar district on Saturday evening.
While the our bodies of 2 -- Rahul Rathod, 18, and Abhivan Shinde, 17, -- washed ashore at Kalamb Beach near Vasai, efforts have been on to track the third, police said.
Police suspect that the early life will have been pulled away via the thick beneath currents within the Arabian Sea as monsoon is not far away, roughing up the ocean on the entire western coast.
Besides, three persons have been electrocuted in two separate incidents in Bhandup after town and environment have been lashed via unexpected thunderstorms on Saturday evening, marking the onset of the monsoon season.
