Jammu, July 4: In a swift and coordinated rescue operation, Jammu Police and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) successfully rescued four children who became stranded in the River Tawi near Peer Kho Temple following a sudden rise in the water level.
A distress call was received through the Police Control Room (PCR) informing that four children, who had gone bathing in the river, were trapped after the water level rose unexpectedly. Acting promptly on the information, senior police officers, along with the SDPO City North, SHO Police Station Pacca Danga, and the SDRF team, immediately rushed to the spot. Through a well-coordinated rescue operation, all four children were safely rescued without any injuries.
The timely intervention and seamless coordination between Jammu Police and SDRF averted a potential tragedy and ensured the safety of the children. Following the rescue, the SDPO City North addressed the public through a public announcement system, urging people to stay away from the banks of the River Tawi, particularly during periods of fluctuating water levels.
Parents were also advised to ensure that their children do not venture near the river, as sudden surges in water levels can pose a serious threat to life. Jammu Police appeals to the general public to exercise utmost caution near rivers and other water bodies, especially during the monsoon season, and to immediately report any emergency to the Police Control Room or the nearest police station.
