New Delhi, April 13: Four children drowned in Yamuna river in the national capital on Wednesday, officials said.

"So far, one body of a child aged around 12-13 years has been recovered," the official told IANS. The body was taken out from the Yamuna river by the boat club staff with the help of Delhi Fire Services personnel at around 5.35 p.m. in the evening.
Meanwhile, DCP southeast Esha Pandey told IANS that the rescue operation was underway.
As none had seen the other 3 boys, it was still unclear whether they had even drowned or not.
"None had seen them but their clothes are lying at the river bank so there is a possibility that they too might have drowned," Pandey said, adding that exact information can only be given once the rescue operation ends.
