Jammu’s Tawi River Rescue: Trapped Man Saved After One-Hour Ordeal in Fierce Current | ABP NEWS

A man trapped in the fierce current of Jammu's Tawi River has been safely rescued by the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) after a tense, hour-long operation. The incident occurred when a sudden rise in the river’s water level, triggered by heavy rainfall in the surrounding hilly regions, caused a flash flood that stranded the man midstream. ABP News was the first to report the crisis, which prompted a swift response from SDRF. The rescue strategy involved dropping a rope ladder from the bridge above the river. However, the distance between the man and the initial rope drop made it nearly impossible for him to reach it alone. A brave SDRF jawan, Devender Sharma, descended using the rope and physically guided the man to safety. With the assistance of his team waiting on the bridge, the man was pulled up step by step and brought to secure ground. The water current was strong, and the terrain was slippery, making the rescue even more challenging. Thanks to the timely intervention and courage of the SDRF team, especially Devender Sharma, the man’s life was saved—bringing immense relief to onlookers and viewers who witnessed the operation live.
