Indian Army is always at dispatch at the time of need. While tackling pelting of stones at one side of J&K, they saved lives of 9 people struck in an ambulance due to landslide at the other side.
A pregnant lady and a 15-year old boy were among the 9 people rescued from the stranded ambulance at Nastachung Pass in Kupwara District of J&K. The ambulance was struck due to a landslide on the evening of 21st February.
The 15-year old boy was Madsoor Ahmed who was being moved after undergoing surgery for a stomach ailment. Waheed Mir, the 24-year old women was being treated for anaemia in her advance stage of pregnancy.
The ambulance could not move because of landslides on either side. The dropping temperatures at an altitude of 10,000 feet were affecting the patients severely and could have been fatal for the anaemic patient. But not that day, due to the swift reaction by the Army Rescue Team.
Tangdhar is a remote mountainous area in Kupwara district and is located along the Line of Control.
Taking to social media, the Northern Army Command shared the pictures and the post on Facebook the next day.
The team not only cleared the way for the Ambulance to return to Tangdhar but also administered medical attention to the patients.
Along with the survivors, we, on behalf of SSBCrack express our gratitude to the army and salute the rescue team for salvaging them from a helpless situation.
