Reaffirming its unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of pilgrims undertaking the sacred Amarnath Yatra, the Indian Army carried out a swift medical evacuation at Barari Marg on Monday night.
The Army in a statement said that at around 8:00 PM, a 38-year-old pilgrim, Ajay Kumar from Ludhiana, began feeling unwell while descending the yatra route. Acting promptly, the Medical Evacuation Team led by the NCO Incharge stationed at Barari responded immediately.
He was escorted to the nearest Medical Aid Post, where he received timely medical care and was kept under observation as per standard protocol. After being stabilized and showing improvement, Ajay Kumar reported feeling better and continued his descent without assistance, accompanied by his fellow pilgrims.
This incident underscores the Indian Army’s proactive humanitarian efforts in ensuring the health, safety, and morale of all yatris. Army medical teams remain on round-the-clock alert along the entire yatra route, committed to providing immediate assistance and facilitating a safe and smooth pilgrimage for all.
