Children feared drowned after van falls into Indira canal in Lucknow

At least six children were feared drowned after a pick-up van fell into the Indira canal in Nagram area here, district officials said Thursday.
The van carrying 29 people, who were returning from a marriage ceremony in neighbouring Barabanki district, fell into the canal late Wednesday night, Lucknow District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma said, adding that 22 of them have been rescued.
"As many as six children, all in the age-group of 5-10 years, are missing. They might have been washed away to a significant distance as the flow of the water in the canal is rather high...rescue operations are on," Sharma told PTI.
