Head Constable honoured for rescue of woman in Banjara Hills floods

The Telangana Human Rights Commission honoured Head Constable P. Sridhar for rescuing a 22-year-old woman trapped in waist-deep floodwaters at Banjara Hills of Hyderabad following a cloudburst on August 7.

Despite the dangers of live electricity, open manholes and hidden trenches, Mr. Sridhar courageously waded through the



floodwaters to reach the woman, Nainika, who was shivering and stood helpless at a bus stop, the Commission noted.

He reassured her, ensured safety and arranged transport to her residence in Vanasthalipuram in the escort vehicle of the Commission’s Chairperson, Justice Shameem Akther, where she was reunited with her family.
