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.
Om shanti

Very sad News May their soul rest in peace it’s very difficult to digest such incidents
A very unfortunate incident that took the lives of eight students. May God grant them eternal rest. Condolences to the bereaved families.
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
Very sad news,may their soul rest in eternal peace. Our condolances with griefed families.

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. If you look at the native place they come from, must be role models of their respective villages.

Life is very precious, nothing at cost of our lives! RIP for all who lost their life in this incident!
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 ?
Wrong*
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…
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
Very bad news….
Muzzy ??
THAT IS VERY BED NEWS TO ALL
Rip very sad news and shoking incident
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.
RIP
