THATTA, Sept 24: Three young girls drowned in Gul Mohammad Jokhio village near Jangshahi on Sunday evening. A lot of rain water had accumulated in a roadside ditch in the village.

Two sisters, seven-year-old Maryam and nine-year-old Shahnaz, daughters of Ali Dino, slipped in the water.

The bodies were recovered by villagers.
