Bantwal: Five students, who had gone to play in Netravati River, standed between rocks when they were unable to swim following the release of water from AMR Dam under the limits of Navur Gram Panchayat in the taluk on Wednesday.
A team of 11 students had gone to play in the river near Laxmi Vishnu Murthy Temple. Suddenly, AMR Dam near Shambhuru released water. Of 11, six students swam and reached the shore while remaining five could not swim and consequently struck between the rocks. The students from the shore tried to help them but in vain.
