He said a kite sitting on top of a building was making distress calls. Havildar reached the spot but Ghosh could not reach the kite due to height. “I asked for help then Lalbazar control room and DMG,” Ghosh said. He was previously involved in several such rescues as part of Bonio’s Mukta Vihanga project.
