Two eight-year-old children drowned while fishing in the Atrai River in Dhamoirhat upazila of Naogaon on Thursday afternoon.

The deceased were Jisan, 8, son of Tohidul Islam of Rospur village under Khelna Union, and Tahmid Hossain, 8, son of Delwar Hossain, of the same area.

According to local residents and eyewitnesses, the two children went to the Atrai River near Shimultali Bridge around 1pm without the knowledge of their families to catch fish. They reportedly drowned after entering the river and were swept away by the current as they could not swim. After the children went missing, locals launched a search and later recovered them unconscious from the river. They were taken to Dhamoirhat Upazila Health Complex, where on-duty doctors declared both dead.

Dhamoirhat Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mintu Rahman said the two children drowned after entering deep water in the river. Police visited the scene and were taking necessary legal steps in consultation with the families.
