The Indian Army rescued a 16-year-old girl in Srinagar on Friday after she accidentally injured herself with an axe. The girl, Manisha, was working near the Seb Neck area when she hit herself on the left foot. The wound was bleeding profusely and there was a risk of infection.
The Army received information about the accident at around 2:30pm and responded swiftly. Troops from Mike Battalion reached the location, which is near the Line of Control, and provided first aid to the girl. She was then evacuated to the Battalion’s MI Room for further treatment.
The unit’s RMO sutured the wound and stabilized the patient, preventing further loss of blood. After treatment, the girl was taken back to the nearest road head and carried safely to her home by the soldiers.
The timely action and assistance by the Army was widely appreciated by the locals. They thanked the troops for their timely intervention and evacuating the child from the inhospitable terrain.
This is just one example of the many ways in which the Indian Army is working to serve and protect the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The Army is always ready to help those in need, regardless of their background or affiliation.
