Two degree students drowned in Sokileru rivulet near Sokileru view point at Tulasipakala village in Chintoor agency in East Godavari district on Wednesday.
The incident occurred reportedly while they were taking bath in the rivulet. The deceased have been identified as J. Durga Prasad (22) and A. Satya Naidu (21) of Amalapuram mandal.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
