Rescue Team Evacuates Critically Ill Shepherd from Remote Kangra Region in Challenging Operation
In Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district, a 13-member rescue team conducted a challenging ground operation to save shepherd Nirjal Kumar from the remote Bada Bhangal area after he suffered a severe health issue. Due to bad weather preventing helicopter use, the team trekked rugged terrain for over 18 kilometers across difficult mountain paths, carrying the patient on a stretcher. He was transported to a hospital—Civil Hospital in Holi or Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Government Medical College and Hospital in Chamba—for treatment. Local residents and officials expressed gratitude for the successful rescue.
