'Thanks' Painted On Rooftop Where Pregnant Woman Was Rescued By Navy
ALUVA, KERALA: Naval rescue chopper pilot Commodore Vijay Varma and his men got a unique thank you note, days after Sajitha Jabil, was rescued from the rooftop of her house, in Chengamanad near Aluva in Kerala. A huge 'Thanks' was painted on the roof of the house, from where Commodore Varma had rescued Sajitha on August 17. The 25-year-old pregnant woman's water bag broke, when she was stranded on the rooftop and the flood waters had reached the first floor.
A Navy chopper arrived with a doctor, who was lowered onto the rooftop to examine her. With his go-ahead, Ms Jabil was winched up and flown to INHS Sanjivani hospital in Kochi. Barely 30 minutes later, she delivered a baby boy said the hospital authorities.
Images tweeted by the Navy showed a beaming new mother with her baby. "They are both doing fine," the tweet read. In a video posted earlier by the Indian Navy's official handle, the pregnant woman, wearing a harness, was seen being airlifted.

Election results prove Modi best for national security: R Ashoka
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly R. Ashoka said the election results show that Narendra Modi is the most suitable leader for the country’s security.
Speaking to the media, he claimed that the political future of Mamata Banerjee and her government has come to an end. He alleged that around two crore people from Bangladesh were helped to enter the country with Aadhaar cards.
Ashoka said that even though elections were held in five states, the entire country’s attention was on West Bengal. He attributed this to what he described as misgovernance in the state.
He further said there were continuous political allegations and objections related to CBI matters, and added that such developments have now come to an end with the latest election outcome.
