On Wednesday, around 35 children while heading back home from school found themselves stranded after a portion of the road along the paddy fields in Malleyana village in Nihal Singh Wala subdivision here washed away due to heavy rains.

Due to the heavy flow of water on the broken patch of the road that connects Malleyana village to Rasulpur village, the children were unable to cross it.

Upon seeing the students, a group of villagers stepped in to help them. Among the group were the two men — Gagandeep and Sukhwinder — who got into the water to bridge the gap between the broken patch of the road.
