Navi Mumbai: A trekker from Thane who slipped from a cliff and fell 100 feet down, was rescued by locals in a four-hour long operation. Srikanta Sahu (27) started his journey from Dadar by walking a few days ago, but stayed at the Khandas village, Karjat on Thursday. Sahu, while searching for pathways amidst the forest had accidentally fallen, sustaining injury. With only 2% battery left, he sent a screenshot of his location to a family member. A farmhouse owner, Nivrutti Enkar, led a nine-member search and rescue operation team responding to alerts from the victim’s family. They tracked Sahu and brought him back to the village and provided water and food. The Karjat police were alerted. “He took a rest here on Friday night and returned to his native village on Saturday morning,” said Enkar.
