An Indian Air Force helicopter on Saturday rescued two persons who were left clinging to an electric pole for several hours amid flooding in a low-lying area of Gujarat's Junagadh district due to heavy rains, an official said.
The Junagadh district administration sought help of an IAF chopper for airlifting two persons stranded near Sutrej village of Keshod taluka after the area was inundated because of heavy rainfall, collector Anil Ranavasiya said.
The two villagers went to their farm on Friday evening and were unable to return due to the flooding, he said.
A team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) failed in its attempt to rescue the duo, and they were finally airlifted by the IAF helicopter at 4 pm and taken to Jamnagar Air Station for medical check-up, he said.
