Four children, who were living in a relief camp along with their families, drowned in a river in Manipur’s Churachandpur district, police said.
The children — three girls and a boy, aged between 4 and 9 — were living in the ECA Canan relief camp in Tuibuong due to the ethnic strife in the state, they said.
They went to take a bath at the Tuitha River near their camp around 2 pm on Tuesday. As they did not come back for a long, their families along with other inmates of the camp started looking for them.
Police were also informed, and they too joined the searches, which continued overnight. Around 6 am on Wednesday, the bodies of the children were found in the river, police said.
