Her friends reported the incident to the local authorities, who promptly organized a rescue effort. The Maharashtra State Electricity Board employees, the Coast Guard, and the Kolad rescue squad all offered assistance in addition to the rescue crew.
Even though Kamdar fell about 300 to 350 feet, she was still alive when the rescue operators reached her. Rescuing her was difficult, as it was raining heavily and there was a danger of large stones falling into the gorge. After a 6-hour effort, Kamdar was pulled out of the gorge alive but she later succumbed to her injuries in the Mangaon Government Hospital.
Authorities have issued a notice urging tourists to be extra careful when visiting waterfalls.
