Five men all aged in their 20s made a narrow escape when the jeep they were travelling in got stuck in the river near Dudhsagar waterfalls.
The group of five were travelling to Dudhsagar along the rocky terrains when they decided to drive across a swelling river. On reaching the half way mark, the vehicle stalled and refused to budge. The swelling waters gushed into the vehicle making it unstable. They tried to escape but were unable to due to the force of the water.
The Drishti lifesavers posted at Dudhsagar were alerted about the emergency situation and rushed to the scene. Lifesavers Niraj Gaonkar, Devendra Naik, Hanuman Bhajantriy, Vithal Masurkar and Shanu Gaunekar teamed up and rescued the group. The 5 men were secured and brought back to safety. The vehicle meanwhile was marooned in the river and backup was called to assist with its recovery.
