A couple had a miraculous escape when their car fell into the Sirhind canal on the Neelon road, near here, today.

Gurdeep Singh and his wife Munni Devi from Dhamian village in Hoshiarpur district were rescued by passersby soon after their car fell into canal.

According to SHO Gursewak Singh, the couple were on their way from Ludhiana to Ropar when Gurdeep lost control of the car and it plunged into the canal near Dholara bridge around 4 pm.

As the water level in the canal was lower today, the victims managed to come out of the car and climb onto its roof. Some passersby noticed the two and rescued them before calling the police, said the SHO.
