UDHAMPUR: In a remarkable display of coordination and swift action, the District Administration Udhampur and the Indian Air Force (IAF) collaborated to successfully evacuate two patients from Basantgarh, an area rendered inaccessible due to incessant rains and landslides.
The patients, Nazeer Ahmed S/o Mohd Sultah R/o Basantgarh, Tehsil Basantgarh, District Udhampur, diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Om Prakash S/o Puran Chand, suffering from Acute Appendicitis, required urgent medical intervention at Government Medical College (GMC) Udhampur. With road connectivity disrupted due to the rains and landslides, the District Administration Udhampur, led by Deputy Commissioner Saloni Rai, promptly coordinated with the IAF to facilitate the airlifting of the patients.
The IAF, in a remarkable display of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations, responded swiftly to the request and successfully winched both the patients to safety. The patients were then transported to GMC Udhampur for further medical treatment.
This successful operation highlights the District Administration Udhampur's commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens, particularly in times of crisis. The IAF's prompt response and expert execution of the rescue operation underscore its role as a critical enabler in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) also played a crucial supporting role in the operation. The District Administration Udhampur expresses its gratitude to the IAF and NDRF for their tireless efforts and dedication to saving lives.
