Congress MLA Sachin Pilot expressed deep sorrow over a tragic incident where eight people drowned in the Banas River in the Tonk district of Rajasthan.
According to the police, a group of 11 people from Jaipur had gone for a picnic on the riverbank when some of them entered the water to bathe and slipped into a deep stretch of the river. Efforts by others in the group to rescue them also turned tragic.
