The rescue operation was carried out in Pattan Tehsil of Kohistan district where the Rescue 1122 team shifted an eleven-member stranded family.
For the crossing of a river, the officials made arrangements of tying iron ropes to cross the raging river and for shifting a stranded family comprising of two women and two children.
After completing the family rescue, their pet cat also reached the site and made noises to divert the attention of her owners and rescue officials.
On seeing an innocent soul in trouble and in need of help, an official of Rescue 1122 went back to the other side of the river and brought the feline back to safety.
During the crossing of the river, the cat became scared due to the ferocity of water tides and jumped from the hands of a rescue official who forthwith caught her again and saved her from falling into the river.
On reaching safety, the family members expressed great gratitude to the officials and highly appreciated their courage and dedication to duty which is not only confined to rescuing human beings but also all living creatures.
