VASCO: Vasco fire brigade and the local police saved the life of an old woman by rescuing her from an open well after she accidentally slipped into it.
The old woman was rescued by using a metal ladder and ropes and is out of danger, as informed by the firefighters.
Ashrud Bengekar, a local, informed that one building in the area was demolished some time back; a nearby resident heard the voice of an old woman who accidentally fell in the well.
The resident who witnessed the incident quickly called up a former city councillor Krishna (Daji) Salkar, who reportedly informed the local police and the fire brigade, who immediately rushed to the site and managed to rescue the old woman.
Fire safety personnel said that the Vasco fire station received a call at around 10.45 am that an old lady had fallen in the open well. We rushed to the site and noticed that an old woman held a rope inside the well. Our fire firefighters brought a metal ladder and rescued her from the well. Local police at the site took her to the Chicalim sub-district hospital for medical treatment. The old woman is out of danger.
MMC Councillor Girish Borkar, who was at that site, stated that he was informed about the incident by Salkar and further added that as per the available information, the old woman is a temporary MMC worker and had come to pluck flowers and accidentally slipped into the well.
