New Delhi (PTI): Outside one of the country's largest high-security prisons, Tihar jail, a late-night emergency call had nothing to do with inmates or a security alarm; it was for a puppy that was stuck inside an open pit.
The incident, which was reported to the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) at 12.55 am on Friday, triggered a multi-agency rescue operation, an official said.
Equipped with specialised tools, teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the DFS rushed to the Tihar Prison Complex's Gate No 1 and made several attempts to rescue the animal, he added.
But, even after prolonged efforts, the puppy could not be saved, officials said.
"Personnel from multiple agencies, equipped with specialised tools, made several attempts to rescue the puppy, but it could not be saved," an officer said.
The rescue operation continued for over three hours, he added.
