Ghaziabad, August 28: After heavy rain, a child drowned in a pool in a waterlogged area at Gaushala underpass in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad on Friday, said Pramod Kumar, additional municipal commissioner.

"I have been told that a child died here due to waterlogging. Maybe the child jumped into the pool of water. Since this is a low-lying area, these parts often get flooded in the monsoon season and we bring pumps to clear out the water," Kumar said. Also Read | Rapid Antigen Testing for COVID-19 Now Available at Port Blair Airport, Says AAI.
