A Kitten had Vile Parle railway officials, the fire brigade and animal activists in a tizzy for five whole days after getting itself trapped inside the beams of a footover bridge there.

After the fire brigade and everyone else failed to rescue it, a team of railway engineers had to cut open the bridge beams to rescue the kitten. City fire brigade teams were unable to rescue the animal owing to the narrow opening in the beam. Finally, the WR headoffice at Churchgate despatched a team led Additional Divisional Engineer BK Jaiswal into the rafters with gas cutters and the bottom of a cross beam was cut open.
