In a successful rescue operation, a cow that was swept away by the Netravati River at Uppinangady was saved by the home guard flood rescue team. The incident occurred when the cow fell into a drain at Pundupila in Mogru village and was carried into the river by the strong current.
The situation was brought to light by Chandappa, who spotted the cow floating in the river and promptly alerted the flood rescue team. The team, led by acting in-charge Dinesh B., quickly mobilized a response to save the animal.
Equipped with a rubber boat, the team worked diligently to secure the cow. They tied a rope around the animal and carefully maneuvered it to the riverbank near a nearby temple. The operation was conducted with precision, ensuring the cow’s safety throughout the process.
The successful rescue highlights the crucial role of prompt and coordinated action in dealing with emergencies, especially in flood-prone areas. The home guard team’s swift and effective response prevented what could have been a tragic outcome, showcasing their commitment to both human and animal safety.
