Mangaluru/Udupi (PTI): A woman from Maharashtra, rescued in a distressed condition along a national highway in Udupi district about a month ago, has been reunited with her family after recovering from a mental health episode, officials said on Wednesday.

The 45-year-old woman hails from Satara district in Maharashtra, they said. 

She was found wandering late at night in February on the Ambalapady stretch of National Highway 66 but later she was housed in safe custody, police said. 

According to officials, social worker Vishu Shetty noticed her wandering on the roadside and rescued her before shifting her to a shelter facility. She was later admitted to the district hospital for treatment. 

Doctors said she gradually responded to medical care and counselling and was able to recall details about her family, enabling authorities to trace her relatives.

Her brother and other family members subsequently arrived in Udupi and took her back home. Police and hospital staff assisted in the rescue and rehabilitation process.

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.

“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.

Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”

Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”

“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.

When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”

The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
