A cow was rescued by a group of villagers in northern India after it fell into a 6ft deep drain.<br /><br />In the video, people can be seen tying the four-legged animal and pulling it out using a crane.<br /><br />Slowly but gradually the cow is lifted and placed out of the drain. The marathon rescue operation ran for almost 40 minutes before the cow was pulled out.<br /><br />The cow was released on the road as soon as it was out of it.<br /><br />An eyewitness said, “It was a cow this time, what if a person had fallen into it and died instead of the cow? The municipal authorities are too callous.”<br /><br />Villagers have blamed the municipal authorities for not checking on stray animals and also for leaving the drains uncovered.
