• The teams built a makeshift ladder with a lifting mechanism, secured ropes around the animal, and hauled it up during a prolonged operation.
• The effort posed safety risks, with tense moments when the ropes strained, yet careful coordination kept the rescue on track.
• Once freed, the gaur ran back into the forest, and officials confirmed it was released into the wild.
• The video drew public praise for the Trichy teams, reinforcing Sahu’s ongoing practice of spotlighting frontline wildlife rescues.
