In a daring operation on the Hooghly river in West Bengal, the Indian Navy's fast interceptor craft crew successfully rescued a woman who had fallen into the water. The rescue took place under the cover of darkness early Friday morning, according to a Defence official.
The woman was seen struggling against the river's strong current when the Navy's sagar prahari bal (Kolkata) crew, while on patrol, responded swiftly to the emergency. Steadily navigating their craft in dicey conditions, they managed to steer towards her and bring her on board.
Having calmed her down, the crew transported the woman to the local West Port police station, where she was reunited with her relieved family members. The operation emphasized the Navy's readiness and the vital role they play in ensuring public safety along India's waterways.
