In a separate incident, in Pakistan's northwest, at least 10 students who were on a picnic drowned after their boat capsized in a lake on Sunday, police said.
The children, from a religious school in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, were visiting a lake at Tanda Dam.
Local police official Qismat Khan said 25 students were on the boat. Six were rescued, and three of them are in critical condition. The dead pupils were aged between 11 to 13. Nine children remained missing. Khan said an earlier group of 16 students was able to cross the lake. But the same boat capsized while taking 25 on the next trip. "As per initial reports, overloading resulted in the overturning of the boat," he said.Life-saving divers were called in from the provincial capital Peshawar due to an immediate lack of them locally. People from the area joined authorities in recovering bodies from the water.
Pakistan has witnessed similar incidents in the past as tourist attractions do not adhere to safety measures, including the use of life vests.
