Panaji, February 10

An Indian Navy commando rescued a woman from drowning in the Mandovi river off Panaji, an official statement said on Wednesday.

The woman had jumped off the Mandovi bridge, which links the state capital to Bardez sub district, when marine commandos on a routine sortie rushed to her rescue.

“On a routine sortie of marine commandos in the Mandovi river at Goa, the crew noticed a woman falling off the Panjim bridge. The boat was immediately diverted to the scene and a commando dived into the river to rescue the lady,” a statement issued by the Indian Navy said.

After her rescue, the woman was provided first aid at a nearby local naval jetty.

“The lady was found to be in good health after medical examination by the resident naval doctor, and thereafter was handed over to the local authorities,” the statement also said. — IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
