By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, SEPT. 6. Two children of a senior police officer, who were trapped in a lift on the second floor of the SP Quarters in Kilpauk were rescued by fire service personnel late tonight.

According to eye-witnesses, Akalya (5) and Egalya (4), daughters of Railway SP Mr. M. Ravi, had got into the lift around 10 p.m. The lift got stuck at the second floor following a mechanical failure.

Noticing the incident, neighbours alerted fire service personnel. The steel rods were bent and a fireman squeezed in through the opening. The children were brought out, much to the relief of their parents. The operation lasted about half an hour.
