SRINAGAR: On 27 December 2024, the Indian Army launched a Human Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operation in Gulmarg following unprecedented heavy snowfall. The snowfall rendered the road axis to Tangmarg impassable, stranding numerous tourists. Responding promptly to an SOS from the Civil Administration regarding tourists stranded, the Indian Army undertook a swift action.
The rescue mission, led by the Indian Army, aimed to evacuate the stranded tourists and provided immediate aid and relief. Demonstrating efficiency and commitment, the operation successfully rescued 68 civilians, including 30 women, 30 men, and 8 children. The operation, initiated at 1900 hours, showcased exemplary coordination between Indian Army and Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA). The rescued individuals were provided with shelter and meals at the Gulmarg Army base. They remained there until the road was cleared and deemed safe for further travel.
This prompt and compassionate response earned immense appreciation from the tourists and local authorities. Indian Armyâs unwavering commitment, professionalism, and efficiency in the face of adversity highlighted their dedication to public welfare. The operation stands as a testament to the Armyâs readiness to protect and serve, even in the harshest conditions. The Indian Army is ever committed for the welfare of the citizens of India.
