Sangareddy:  In a daring and compassionate act, a woman animal rescuer from Telangana travelled over 280 km from Hyderabad to a village near Nanded in Maharashtra to rescue a jackal trapped in a 30-foot-deep abandoned well on Thursday.

The wild animal had been stuck in the well for three days, and local farmers, unable to find animal rescuers nearby, reached out to the Patancheru-based Animal Warriors Conservation Society (AWCS) after discovering their contact number online.
