No water..No Food...Man stuck in mountain..!?
Babu, a 23-year-old man from
kerala who is interested in trekking, has been stranded in one of the Kurumbachi gorges in
kerala for the past 41 hours. Rescue teams from
tamil Nadu and Bangalore have rushed to rescue the youth, who is gaining more attention through social media. Babu, a 23-year-old from the Malampuzha
district of
kerala, has been interested in trekking. Babu and his three friends went to Kurumbachi hill in
kerala last Monday. Babu rolled over when he tripped in the middle of the road during the trek. Falling down, he was trapped in a small cave in a mountain pass. There was an abrasion on his legs.
His friends, shocked to see Babu rolling down, go to the top of the hill and try to rescue him by rope. But, they came down and saw that the part where he had fallen was not exactly visible. Only then did they realize that he was trapped in an invisible post. Following this, the friends informed the
fire department. Firefighters who went there based on the information given by friends are making several attempts to rescue him. But no effort paid off for them.
Since it is a hilly area, the rescue team is involved in the rescue effort by navy helicopter. But even this failed. Since it is a narrow area, it has become very difficult to provide food and water to Babu. Thus the young man is suffering without food and water.Kerala
chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has sought the help of the
army in the context of the continuing demand to save Babu. Following this, a section from Bangalore and a section from Wellington in
tamil Nadu left for Kurumbachi hill.
