In a similar incident, four clean-up marshals successfully rescued a woman from drowning in the sea near Bandra Fort at Bandstand on August 30.
When the team of clean-up marshals from BMC’s H-West ward saw the woman struggling to cope with the strong current, they immediately rushed to her aid and brought her back to safety.
