A dramatic rescue operation unfolded in Srinagar on Tuesday after a woman jumped into the Jhelum River from Budshah Bridge. Thankfully, the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) sprang into action, launching a swift rescue operation that successfully pulled the woman to safety. She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention, and officials reported her condition as stable.
The reasons behind the woman’s desperate act are still being investigated. Incidents like these highlight the need for increased support systems and mental health resources, especially in sensitive areas.
In a similar incident last year, a woman attempted to end her life by jumping into the Jhelum River in Safakadal, Srinagar. Fortunately, locals and police intervened, rescuing her and reuniting her with her family after counseling.
