Palakkad: Two days later, the rescue squad released a 23-year-old man named Babu who was trapped in the Cherat gorge in Malambuzha at around 2 pm on Monday.

The security forces saw success where the efforts of the locals and other forces besides the army failed.

This mission is notable for being one of the rarest rescue missions. During the trek, the young man slipped and fell into a special crack in the mountain. For two days without even taking a full drink, the young man endured the extreme cold of the night and the extreme heat of the day. Thousands of people are reporting on social media that the extraordinary will of the youth should be praised and respected by the security forces.

Babu and 3 friends went climbing the mountain on Monday. Tired of climbing a mountain more than 1 km high, the friends decided to go back. But Babu went ahead and told his friends that he would return only after going a little higher. It is believed that he slipped and fell down a steep hill and got stuck in a ravine.

Even the security forces were amazed at Babu’s confidence and courage. A team of forest, police, and firefighters began the rescue operation on Monday night. Yesterday (Tuesday) morning another group climbed the mountain to no avail. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) untied the ropes and tried to reach the gorge, but to no avail.

The Coast Guard helicopter arrived but the rescue team was unable to land the helicopter due to the terrain, strong winds, and dust. Attempts to bring water by drone also failed due to the slope and manure of the mountain. Voluntary organizations and tribals tried to reach out. All of these were defeated last night and the Army had to rely on the rescue force.
