A major accident was narrowly averted on Sunday near Mandagiri hills in Tumkuru district of Karnataka. Hamza, 20, a science and engineering student, was visiting the mountains with friends. While taking a selfie, Hamza suddenly lost his balance and slid down the mountain into the rushing water below. The current carried her to a rocky area where she became severely trapped.
Seeing Hamza collapse, his friend immediately shouted for help and notified the authorities. After that, a massive rescue operation began. Local police, fire departments and rescue workers rushed to the scene, but the challenge was that the land was rugged, rocky and had strong currents, which made rescue efforts difficult.
Rescue completed within 20 hours
Rescue teams worked around the clock to rescue Hamza. Due to strong winds and waves, the rescue work was repeatedly hampered and the rescue time took up to 20 hours. After several hours of hard work, the fire brigade successfully rescued Hamza safely. The news that Hamsa survived not only relieved his family and friends, but also brought a burst of happiness and relief to the local people. The entire event proved that even the biggest challenges can be met with focused effort and restraint in an emergency.
While Hamsa’s story presents an example of courage and patience, it also serves as a warning that people should be cautious when visiting natural sites. The incident has forced people to think about how distractions while taking selfies can lead to serious accidents.
