This could be the case of utter negligence on the part of the hotel management and staff or the mistake of the victim’s family but one innocent girl has lost her life due to drowning in the swimming pool of the resort situated in Colva in south Goa. The girl was drowned due to the absence of lifeguard near the pool while management of the hotel claims that they had displayed the board of ‘Pool in Closed’.

According to the sources, a 17-year-old girl, Zeba Sayyed, a resident of Tumkur in Karnataka was drowned in the swimming pool at the hotel in Colva in south Goa. The sources have said that three girls entered the Pool situated in the resort at around 7.45 am. Not knowing the depth of the pool, Zeba Sayyed was drowned due to lack of help while the other two girls, Javeria, 22 and Umraz, 11 were rescued by their uncle with the help of other people.

The uncle of the deceased told the media that, the hotel management told them the water in the pool is shallow and till the knee depth and hence the girls entered the pool. “When my three nieces went for swimming there was no lifeguard and they were drowned. When I reached to rescue them one of them was already drowned and I could save only two of them,” he said blaming the hotel management for not having the lifeguard near the pool. “I tried to save her but the water was deep and I could not manage to save her life. There is no lifeguard and hotel has no facility to deal with such incidents,” he added.
