Sun, Aug 04 2013I owe my life to the mogaveers who rescued me from drowning at this very alive bakilu. I remember getting a tight slap for swimming in that area. I wish i know the person who rescued me. I think such incidents happens regularly and our Brave Mogaveers risk their lives to save our lives. Respect!!!
