In a tense and heroic rescue operation, about 50 tourists were saved from a waterfall in western India’s Maharashtra after heavy rains trapped them.

The incident took place near CBD Belapur in Navi Mumbai city on July 21.

Visuals showed tourists are seen being rescued one by one amid panicked screams. About 50 sightseers, stranded at the waterfall, are saved by a brave rescue team forming a human chain, battling the torrential waters with determination and unity.

According to reports, the strong current of the overflowing waterfall posed a deadly threat, and if not rescued in time, the tourists could have been swept away.

The quick-thinking rescue team formed a human chain, demonstrating remarkable bravery and coordination to bring everyone to safety. A dramatic video of the rescue shows the tense moments as people were saved one by one amid screams and rushing water.

This incident follows another rescue last week at Anjaneri Waterfall in Maharashtra. Tourists were similarly trapped due to the ongoing rains in the state. The forest department team, alerted to the situation, swiftly arrived and formed a human chain to rescue everyone.

These rescues highlight the dangers posed by natural attractions during the monsoon season in India and the extraordinary efforts of local rescue teams to ensure the safety of visitors.
