"A group of six girls came to the riverside of which two went into the Pench river to click selfie but they stuck after the water level of the river rose," SK Singh Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) said.
"A team of police personnel managed to rescue the girls with the help of local administration and also some of the villagers. The girls were standing on the rock for an hour. They were so frightened that they could barely speak even after they were rescued. They were sent to hospital however there is no casualty," the SDPO added.
