In an act of sheer bravery, two youths in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri district on Wednesday rescued a woman who got stuck in a flash flood while washing clothes sitting along a riverbank.

The incident took place at Haatkhola village in Nagrakata when the woman had gone near Kuchi Diana River in the area to wash clothes. The sudden flood due to heavy rain in the Bhutan Hills range, flooded the river in the Terai region.
