Dwellers of a Chennai housing society are breaking the internet by putting up a rescue mission to save a toddler from falling from a window porch.

 

The child slipped from its mother’s lap while playing over the window porch, which was covered by a plastic sheet.

 

However, due to the alertness and bravery of the community members, the disaster was averted.

 

The incident happened in Thirumullaivoyal, Avadi, Chennai.

 

Video footage capturing the dramatic rescue was also shared on platform X which highlighted the heroic efforts of those involved in rescuing the child.

 

Recognising the imminent danger, residents swiftly laid down a large cloth as a precautionary measure. However, it was the courageous action of a few individuals who formed a human pyramid that ultimately led to the toddler’s safe retrieval.

 

Following the incident, the baby was admitted to a hospital and is doing fine.

 

In another incident earlier this month, a two-year-old boy, who fell into an open borewell in Karnataka’s Vijayapura was successfully rescued by NDRF, SDRF personnel. The child was stuck in the 16-foot-deep borewell for more than 18 hours.
