Two brothers drown in pond
Two brothers died after drowning in a pond in Noakhali's Kabirhat yesterday noon.
Md Hamdan, 7, and his younger brother Md Hasan, 5, were the sons of Harun Huzur of Hashan Ali Zamdar village of Ghazirbagh village of Ward No. 1 of the upazila's Batia union, said local UP member Iqbal Hossain Dulal.
Hasan studied in nursery and Hamdan in first grade at a local Noorani Madrasa. They were buried in their family graveyard in the evening.

The children were taken to the upazila health complex, and the doctor on duty pronounced them both dead.
