Tragic Drowning Incident During University Educational Visit in Inner Mongolia

Beijing, July 24 (PTI) — A tragic incident occurred during an educational visit by students from a Chinese university, resulting in the drowning of six students. The accident happened when the students fell into an industrial tank while visiting a mining operation linked to one of China's leading gold production companies, as reported by official media.

The unfortunate event took place at a copper-molybdenum ore-dressing plant located in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. During the visit, the students from Northeastern University accidentally fell into a flotation cell, according to a report by the state-run Xinhua news agency.

The plant is part of a mining operation managed by a company under the China National Gold Group Co Ltd, based in Hulunbuir. Although all six students were retrieved from the tank, they were subsequently declared dead by medical personnel.

A teacher accompanying the group suffered injuries during the incident, the report further detailed.
