Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:
A sense of panic gripped the area on Sunday night after a rampaging bull fell into a well in Bhujang Vasti on Kamalapur Road. Acting swiftly on receiving information, the fire brigade rushed to the spot and, after nearly two hours of relentless efforts, managed to rescue the bull safely, giving it a new lease of life.
The incident occurred around 9 pm in Bhujang Vasti on Kamalapur Road in the Waluj MIDC area. Farmer Mahendra Bhujang was feeding his bulls when suddenly two of them ran amok. In the confusion caused by the darkness while trying to control them, one of the bulls fell into a well.
Following the incident, Bhujang, along with his friends, attempted to rescue the bull. However, their efforts failed as the ropes kept snapping. Realising the seriousness of the situation, two persons bravely climbed down into the well and ensured that the bull’s head remained above water.
Subsequently, the Waluj MIDC fire brigade was informed. A team led by deputy fire officer Anil Deshmukh reached the spot. The personnel initiated a well-planned rescue operation using ropes. After nearly two hours of strenuous efforts, the bull was finally pulled out safely.
Driver-operator R.K. Jat, firemen N.S. Parkhe, S.B. Sonawane, T.B. Tandale, Vishal Dhabadar, V.L. Patil, and P.S. Khade played a significant role in the rescue operation.
