KATHMANDU: Last evening, a 13-year-old girl named Rubina Tamang tragically drowned in Makwanpur's Chiruwa River. 

At the time of the disaster, Rubina, who was originally from Lalitpur, was at her maternal uncle's home in Bagmati Rural Municipality-1, Hattidhunga.

Approximately one kilometer south of her uncle's house, she drowned while swimming in the river with three other people.

Rubina's sister, Yalina Tamang, went home after the incident and informed their grandfather, who quickly rushed to the river with neighbors and managed to save her from the water.

Unfortunately, the doctor later verified Rubina's death even though she was transferred to Sanvi Medical in Jhurjhure for prompt treatment.
