The Mumbai Police’s Quick Response Team (QRT) provided aid to a wounded female hiker in the Raigad district of Maharashtra. Mumbai Police posted video of the entire rescue operation on their Instagram account. According to the post, the QRT used their tracksuits to improvise a stretcher to carry the trekker after realizing she had broken her leg. After that, the injured woman was carefully carried to the base camp by the rescue team. The police added that the entire trip was finished in roughly two hours.
“The new recruits of our Quick Response Team, on their way down from a trek while training at Karnala Fort, noticed a trekker had fractured her leg,” the police posted to Instagram.
