Watch: IAF rescues stranded man from Manawar Tawi river in Nowshera

The Indian Air Force helicopter rescued one person who was stranded following a rise in the water level of Manawar Tawi river in Nowshera on Wednesday. The crew quickly selected an appropriate spot to position the helicopter close to the ground since no suitable space was available for landing. Two Garud Special Forces commandoes were then lowered onto the island and reached near the person and lifted the man, brought him and placed him inside the hovering helicopter. The individual was then evacuated to the nearest landing ground available at Naushera Army area and was handed over to the civil authorities for further treatment. The IAF responded swiftly and rescued the individual before the water level could rise to dangerous levels during the night. The overall mission was very closely coordinated by Group Captain Sandeep Singh.
