Two lives were saved at Bhagalpur's Barari Sidhi Ghat on Tuesday thanks to the swift action of the SDRF (State Disaster Response Force) and disaster relief volunteers. In the first incident, Brajesh Kumar Jha, a resident of New Shivpuri Colony under Tilkamanjhi police station, began drowning while bathing in the Ganga. Disaster relief volunteers present at the ghat, with the help of local villagers, immediately pulled him out to safety. Upon receiving information, an SDRF team stationed nearby quickly arrived, provided first aid to Brajesh Kumar Jha, and transported him to Mayaganj Hospital for better treatment. His family members were also informed and later reached the hospital.

In another incident on the same Tuesday morning, an elderly woman attempted suicide by jumping into the Ganga. Disaster relief volunteers and the SDRF team on duty at the ghat jointly intervened and safely rescued the woman, averting a major tragedy. The alertness and prompt action of the disaster relief volunteers and SDRF personnel played a crucial role in saving two lives in time.

Considering the world-renowned Shravani Mela, SDRF teams and disaster relief volunteers have been deployed 24 hours a day at every Ganga ghat during the month of Sawan to handle such emergencies. SDRF In-charge Nilu Kumar led the rescue efforts, with personnel including Ashish Kumar, disaster relief volunteers Tulsi Yadav, Mohammad Mustakim, Sushil Yadav, Dilip Yadav, Abid, Nitish Kumar, and Sanoj Kumar also present at the scene.
