PERNEM: In two separate incidents within a gap of a few days, two women attempted to end their lives by jumping into a well in Swantwada-Mandrem but were rescued by firefighters.
In one incident, a 75-year-old woman from Mandrem tried to commit suicide by jumping in a well near her house on Thursday.
According to reports, the woman had jumped into the well in the morning and family members alerted the Pernem fire station.
A team of firefighters led by Pernem Fire station officer Premanand Kambli rushed to the site and firefighter Vishal Patil descended into the 30-foot deep well and with the help of a chair tied to a rope, firefighters managed to lift the woman from the well.
Incidentally a few days ago, another woman had attempted to end her life by jumping into the same well and the same firefighter, Vishal Patil, had gone down into the well and rescued the woman with the help of other firefighters.
