Over 40 rescued from Dudhsagar waterfalls after bridge collapse

Panaji: Over 40 persons were rescued from Dudhsagar waterfalls after bridge collapses due to rising water levels on Friday.
According to Drishti Marine, a state government-appointed

agency to man beaches in Goa, in the evening due to heavy rains along the Goa – Karnataka border, the water levels at Dudhsagar waterfall increased significantly.
This rise in water levels led to the collapse of the bridge used for crossing and left over 40 visitors stranded.
Drishti lifesavers stationed at the waterfall assisted the individuals caught in the ordeal and assisted them to safer grounds.
Meanwhile, Drishti Marine alerted people not to venture into the Dudhsagar waterfalls for the next few days due to heavy rains and rising water levels. (UNI)
