The dramatic visuals show the group has been stranded when water in the river increased all of a sudden. Hanging on to their lives, the prayers of the people were answered when an IAF chopper was deployed to carry out the rescue operation.
In an operation that lasted well over two hours, the stranded people – believed to be local fishermen – were taken to safety using ropes dangled from the chopper. Garud commandos climbed down these ropes on top of the raging river to help the stranded people climb up.
Two of the four even lost their grip while climbing up and fell into the river but were rescued downstream by local police personnel.
