<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\nFiremen use ladders to rescue all the dogs and their keeper Jayeeta Mitra<\/span><\/p>\n KOLKATA: Septuagenarian Jayeeta Mitra, a resident of an insecure building on MG Road and her domestic help Santosh Malakar were waiting impatiently for 15 dogs, all of whom were on Thursday sent to three different NGOs after they, along with Mitra, were rescued by a team of fire services department, following collapse of a staircase of a building that connects to their floor. They were rescued in a 40-minute operation on Thursday afternoon.
Mitra and her pets got stuck at the third-floor single room, following the collapse a little after 2pm on Thursday.
Later, they were rescued after Jorasanko police station sounded an alert and asked the fire services rescue team to reach the spot. However, when the fire brigade personnel were ready with their ladder to reach out to Mitra, she insisted that her pets be rescued first. The fire brigade team had to give in and they started rescuing the mongrels one by one. \u201cSurprisingly, all were quiet and obeyed our instructions. We were rather apprehensive whether all could be brought down without trouble. After we successfully brought them down using bedsheets, Mitra was willing to come down,\u201d said fire brigade source.
\u201cThe dogs were tired and frightened. Our officer in charge Mukul Rajan Ghosh contacted some city-based NGOs who took the dogs away,\u201d said a police officer. The cops, though, said Maitra is asking for the reunion to be arranged soon. She and Malakar picked up the puppies from road and attended to them with utmost care. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
