Uppinangady: Cow rescued from Nethravathi River by Disaster Response Team
Uppinangady: A cow struggling against the rushing waters of the Nethravathi River was successfully rescued on Friday by a joint team comprising the disaster response force and the Home Guards in Uppinangady.
The team used a rubber boat to navigate to the middle of the river and managed to bring the cow to safety by lassoing it with a rope. The rescue operation was initiated after Chandappa, who owns a tyre shop at Daddu near Halegate, spotted the cow in distress and alerted the disaster response force.
The operation was led by Dinesh B, the stand-in chief of the Home Guards local unit, and included team members ASL Janardana, Charan, Sudarashan, Haris, and Samad.

Eyewitnesses praised the team's efforts, noting that rescuing animals can be more challenging than rescuing humans, as frightened animals can behave unpredictably. The locals pointed out that the rubber boat could have easily capsized if the cow had moved suddenly.
The water level in the Nethravathi River has risen to 28.05 meters following heavy rains in the past 24 hours, adding to the difficulty of the rescue operation.
