Two people who were critically injured after the oil tanker they were traveling in collapsed into a ditch were rescued earlier on November 29 by the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) team.
According to a news statement, the SDRF crew was called in to rescue an oil tanker that had fallen into the ditch at a location known as Bemund, which is situated between Khadi and Agrakhal.
Under the direction of Sub Inspector Surendra Singh, the SDRF team from Post Dhalwala promptly departed for the location with the required rescue gear after receiving the aforementioned information.
Two persons, identified as the driver and conductor, were critically hurt when the oil tanker, which was headed towards Chamba, lost control at Bemund in the Thana Narendranagar district and plunged into a ditch 150 meters deep from the main road.
The SDRF team arrived at the scene of the incident right away, climbed into the deep ditch in the dark, and accompanied the district police to the two injured people. After much effort, they were carried to the main road in critical condition using a stretcher and rope, and an ambulance took them to the hospital.
