A bull which accidentally fell into an open water tank on Saturday was finally rescued on Sunday afternoon using the services of a crane.
According to social activist and former panch Roquezinho D’Souza, the bull belonged to one Custodio Carvalho of Pale.
“The bull fell into the water tank last night. The tank was constructed over 20 years ago by the contractor at a time of constructing the building belonging to Velsao Church. The Church Authority should take the initiative to secure the tank properly so that no untoward incident takes place in future.”
The Verna fire personnel was called at the site but they were unable to retrieve the bull and they advised to get a crane. Finally, the owner of the bull brought the crane and rescued it,” said D’Souza.
D’Souza along with some locals who were present at the site demanded that the tank if not required has to be landfilled or else secured immediately.
D’Souza also appealed to the Velsao panchayat to take a note of the incident.
“ This incident has occurred opposite to Velsao-Pale-Issorcim Panchayat office and the panchayat authority should get the tank secured at the earliest in order to prevent such untoward incidents in the future,” said D’Souza.
