KANPUR: It was a miraculous escape for 50-year-old Jai Devi, who kept herself afloat for 16 hours after falling into the swollen Kilandar nullah in Jalaun that empties into the river Yamuna. She clung on to a piece of wooden log that came her way in the strong currents even as she was swept away into the flooded Yamuna. She was rescued 25km away in Hamirpur by some boatmen, who luckily heard her cries for help and pulled her out of the river. She was later reunited with her family by the police. A resident of Lichi Ka Dera, Sharda Nagar, the woman had gone to her fields when she fell in a swollen Kilandar nullah on Thursday evening. After falling into the stream, she was swept away following a strong current that took her to the Yamuna river. Despite her cries for help, nobody was around to rescue her. Luckily, she saw a wooden log of ‘babool’ tree floating and caught hold of it in order to remain afloat in the river. On Friday morning, her rigorous cries attracted local boatmen, who rescued brought her to the river bank. Soon, the boatmen in Manki village under Kurara police in Hamirpur district alerted village watchman Ramsajeevan, who informed Haraulipur Police outpost in-charge Bharat Yadav. The latter admitted the woman to a hospital and informed the woman’s son Rahul, daughter Vinita in Jalaun, who rushed to the hospital. After a brief investigation, the police handed the woman to her family members. Talking to reporters at her home, Jai Devi, who was yet to recover from the trauma, said that she could not believe how she escaped from the jaws of death. Haraulipur police outpost in-charge Bharat Yadav on Saturday said, “It was nothing but God’s miracle. No one can be harmed with whom God is present.” Source link Read the full article
