PONDA: Ponda Police and fire personnel on Friday evening rescued a man and his one-year-old daughter from a stranded elevator on the first floor of a building in Ponda.
According to reports, the incident occurred at about 4.40 pm when Sudhir Verma, who resides in a flat on one of the floors of the building, was coming down along with his daughter, Divyanshi.
Suddenly, a power outage to the building left the father and his daughter trapped in the elevator for nearly half an hour. Despite switching on a generator, the elevator could not move due to a technical snag.
The incident was then reported to the police and fire services. A rescue team had to break open the glass pane of the elevator, in order to rescue Verma and his daughter.
The rescue operation became easier as the elevator was stranded on the first floor of the building.
