Mumbai: In a shocking incident, a girl fell into a 150-feet deep gorge while clicking photographs and taking a selfie at Borne Ghat in the Satara district of Maharashtra.
A rescue team of adventurers and mountaineers saved the girl.
She was part of an eight-member team of boys and girls from Pune, who were trekking in the region.
They wanted to go to the Thoseghar waterfall, however, because of rains that area was prohibited and instead the group went to the Borne Ghat.
A video, that has gone viral on social media platforms, shows locals throwing a thick rope down the gorge, with a man descending to lift the woman to safety.
The lady, who was visibly shattered and appeared to be in pain, was brought up and taken to a local hospital.
The rescue effort was led by HomeGuard Abhijeet Mandave.
The incident comes close on the heels of last month’s death of travel influencer Aanvi Kamdar (26) who died after falling into a 300-plus feet gorge while shooting a Reel at Kumbhe waterfall near Raigad in Maharashtra.
