A full-grown Indian gaur (Bos gaurus) was successfully rescued on Tuesday after it became trapped between two major Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) water supply pipelines at Vishranti Nagar on Canal Road in the Sinhagad Road area, officials said.

The difficult and technically challenging rescue operation was carried out by the Pune Forest Division with support from multiple agencies and local citizens. The operation lasted several hours before the animal was safely freed.
