  2. ohh, very sad ,

    Maratha mandal’s management should take a necessary amendments in the rule of accommodation of outsiders students and also restrict them to live in Hostels itself at least up to 4th semester initially.

    Also College should take out their student on picnic etc. officially under the guidance of senior staff.

    I saw new comers / Freshers has lot of attraction towards Beach visit because beaches are nearer to this location only 4 hours Journey from BGM.

    When i were in college the similar accident was came to our knowledge , we lost one 1st sem student “Manish” in Goa.

    it is very sad news.

  6. This is very sad news. Life is very precious our young generation must learn from this.Every year there is a story of students drowning in Malvan , please don’t go to these beaches , they aren’t safe , no life guards. RIP

  7. I can’t imagine that the engg students lost their lives on picnic spot,
    Why this group not take a simple safety measures, and any other guide to instruct all the way….
    *Plan properly
    *Safety measures
    *Knowledge about place
    *Discipline
    *Do not Over confidence
    *Hazards around the spot
    *First Aid and etc…

  8. I don’t know what is know with the our young generation. They have become so careless that their lives also holds no value. Its so disappointing to see them dying in such horrible way. Can’t imagine the pain their parents are going through ?

  16. It’s very sad news, unable to digest. We should not take risk at unknown places specially water. May God give strength to their families. RIP.

  18. Unfortunate & Sad incidence, my heart goes out to all the family members of deceased, we have really lost lives of young ones for no reason.

  19. Rip..One of my batch mates becoming a sir in Maratha mandals lost his live in under the bed of d sea(Mahesh Kudchkar)…Rip to the other students who lost their lives..
    Always listen to d elders…

  21. Extremely shocking incident. May their souls RIP. Let us all take lesson from this. Pay heed to warnings and be safe.

  23. There are no sign boards about high energy zones or too current zones as they are @ Goa. Students need to be careful when they go to any unknown beaches. Teachers are also shouldn’t leave the students beyond certain limit (knee depth of water)…
    I’ve done research on Malvan Beaches for several years. Wayari beach is not very risky. But students were unaware of Spring tides owing to Full moon day couple of days back. Anyways people should take care in future & also the authority should ascertain sign boards at places where people visit most…RIP

  24. A very unfortunate incident that took the lives of eight students. May God grant them eternal rest. Condolences to the bereaved families.

  27. Condolences to their Families.
    The College should have Sent a responsible person apart from students who can at least be there to prevent them from such Dangerous activities & guide them.
    Lets all learn a Lesson from this & always verify with Schools/Colleges for any Guardian person is provided with students going out for picnics/tours.

  29. Ignoring local people’s warning and daring…Very unfortunate ….Malwan may be having natural strong currents….LESSON for future…Om shanti..RIP ??

    warnings …ignorance n callosness of every day life on road or at sea or at rly gate leads to all such incidents….what a loss to fmly ….n nation….the youth that too ftr engineers is a gt loss….deepest condolences……

  32. It is a real bad news to read..My deepest condolences to the families of the deceased. But if it was a college picnic all safety measures like life guards and life jackets had to be provided to students entering into water.. may all their solus rest in peace

  34. Very sad govt should have life guards and people should enter the sea only after being sure it’s safe also Maalwaan is a beautiful place govt should develop these beaches.
