CRPF Troops carried a woman in stretcher on shoulders, evacuated her to health center

CRPF Troops evacuated a lady to a Community Health Center when found that she was suffering from high fever and dehydration.

D/195 Bn CRPF Troops on Monday were conducting special operation in interior areas of Surnar under P S Katekalyan, Dist Dantewada, Bastar, Chattisgarh. It was then they noticed two children outside their house along with a 2 month baby crying. On further enquiry they found the mother of children lying, suffering from high fever and dehydration(probably Malaria). The house, with a thachted roof, was located away from the main village. Her husband had gone into jungle for rearing cattles. Troops fed the children with their food material.

Shri Devaram, Assistant Commandent CRPF, immediately decided to evacuate the lady to the Community Health Centre, Kattekalyan. They made a bamboo stretcher and carried her on shoulders.

As the nearest motorable road was 7 kms, it was difficult to take her along the way with thick jungles, hillocks and rivers with high current due to monsoon season, the message was passed on to D/195 Bn headquater to bring ambulance to a designated place.

The lady is now admitted in Kattekalyan community health center and is recovering.

Her husband thanked the troops and Shri Devaram with tears in his eyes. Medical staff appreciated the genuine gesture of the troops carrying the lady on shoulders.
