Bengaluru: In an incident reported from Nagarabhavi early Friday, a 56-year-old woman who fell into a 25-foot pit near a public park was rescued by Chandra Layout Police.
According to police sources, the woman fell into the pit while returning home after visiting a temple. Unable to get out of the pit, she contacted her family, following which her son called the Emergency Helpline 112, as reported by Deccan Herald.
Assistant Sub-inspector Srinivas Murthy and Head Constable Vinoda KM of the Hoysala Squad, Chandra Layout Police Station, rushed to the spot successfully tracing the woman using her phone location. They also got her out of the pit using an iron rope and took her immediately to hospital since she was exhausted.
The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) reportedly got the road dug for an underpass within the limits of the Jnanabharati Police Station. Police have added that no barricades had been placed at the spot nor were any safety measures taken to prevent accidents near the pit.

Search on for missing crew member after 2 US planes go down in dramatic turn to Iran war
Dubai (AP): The search is on for one missing US service member while another was rescued after two US warplanes went down in separate incidents including the first shoot-down since the Iran war began nearly five weeks ago.
The incidents occurred just two days after President Donald Trump said in a national address that the US has “beaten and completely decimated Iran”.
One fighter jet was shot down in Iran, officials said. A US crew member from that plane was rescued, but a second was missing, and a US military search-and-rescue operation was underway.
Separately, Iranian state media said a US A-10 attack aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf after being struck by Iranian defense forces.
A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive military situation, said it was not clear if the aircraft crashed or was shot down.
The war now entering its sixth week is destabilising economies around the world as Iran responds to the US and Israeli attacks by targeting the Gulf region's energy infrastructure and tightening its grip on oil and natural gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
