Cow stuck on Alaknanda river bank, saved post 1-hr operation
A cow was stuck on the bank of Alaknanda river in Uttarakhand's Chamoli and was saved by State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) in an hour-long operation on Monday. The cow had drifted in the river a few kilometres near the upstream. "Our divers swam across the river, tied the animal with ropes...then dragged it towards the side," SDRF officials said.
