Ten workers of a construction firm stranded in the swollen Vaitarna river here in Maharashtra were rescued by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) on Thursday, a senior official said.

The workers of GM Infrastructure, engaged in construction of the Mumbai-Vadodara Expressway, had entered the river in a barge as part of their work, but got stuck at Bahadoli due to the rising water level on Wednesday following heavy rains in Palghar district, an official earlier said.
