Two Teen Trekkers Rescued Near Machi Prabalgad After Losing Way in Fog
Two 17-year-old trekkers, Gauri Ganesh Chandanshive and Utkarsh Bipin Singh, were rescued near Machi Prabalgad in Panvel after losing their way amid sudden fog and difficult terrain. They contacted authorities via the 112 emergency helpline, prompting a coordinated search by Panvel Taluka police, local villagers familiar with the area, and volunteers from Nature Friends-Panvel and HELP Foundation. The team safely located and brought down the teenagers, who were later handed over to a relative. Experts advised caution for inexperienced trekkers, especially during monsoon season.
