A local resident rescued four occupants of a Mahindra Thar that had become stuck in the Dudhia Balasan River.
Earlier this week, a Mahindra Thar vehicle became stuck in the Dudhia Balasan River near an unnamed locality. The driver was unable to free the vehicle and called for help. A nearby resident, who had been passing by, quickly assessed the situation and decided to act. He managed to pull the occupants out of the vehicle and bring them to safety, preventing a potential tragedy. Local police and rescue teams were subsequently dispatched to the scene, where the incident was documented and the vehicle was removed from the river.
The rescue highlighted the importance of quick response in riverine emergencies and the bravery of ordinary citizens. Authorities thanked the rescuer for his timely intervention and urged residents to exercise caution near water bodies. No injuries were reported among the rescued occupants, and the vehicle was later recovered for investigation.
