A team of Mayang Imphal Police Station has rescued a night heron bird which was trapped at the electric wire hanging in front of the SBI office at Mayang Imphal on Friday morning.

It is believed that the bird had freed itself from a net which was kept by miscreants. It was tangled at the wire with a rope being carried by its leg.
