IAS officer Supriya Sahu, (1991 Batch, Tamil Nadu Cadre) shared the video online, highlighting the daring operation and the officers’ bravery.

Social Media Cheers for the Team

The tweet went viral quickly, drawing praise from wildlife enthusiasts and citizens alike:

“This is incredible. Tremendous effort & compassion. Much regard & appreciation for these brave & empathetic forest & fire officials-one can see how difficult this has been. Getting down, securing the harness, one officer lost his footing, very tough, yet they managed”

“My God… What Great Effort. Simply Great Dedication And Sincerity. Congratulations To The DFO And The Team In Trichy And Also The Forest And Fire Teams That Worked Hard Risking Their Own Lives. Well Done And A Grand Salute.”

“Congratulations to tiruchy team, herculean efforts. Intelligent animal too it was patient till the last rope was united before running away”
