Sakhi Team Rescues Mentally Unstable Woman in Nagarkurnool
Imagine a lady who seemed very sad and confused was sleeping outside near a bus stop for about four days.
People in the town were worried about her because she looked like she needed help.
A newspaper wrote a story about her, and that made some special helpers, called the Sakhi team, come quickly.
It took them a little while to make her feel safe because she was scared.
Finally, they took her to the hospital to check if she was okay.
The doctors found out her name is Dilari and she is from a different part of the country.
The helpers were glad the newspaper told everyone so they could help her.
A mentally unstable woman was found living under a traffic sign near the Nagarkurnool bus stand for nearly four days.
Locals expressed concern over her well-being and appealed to authorities for intervention.
A Hans India report on Saturday morning alerted district officials and the 181 Women Helpline.
The Sakhi team, including the District Sakhi Centre Coordinator and She Team In-charge, successfully rescued the frightened woman after a two-hour effort.
The woman was identified as Dilari from Jharkhand and received a medical examination at the Government Hospital.
