SHILLONG, July 31: Demonstrating exemplary dedication and humanitarian commitment, BSF troops successfully carried out a critical medical evacuation from the remote border village of Hawai Bhoi, located in the difficult terrain of West Jaintia Hills, which saved a precious life.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Headman of Hawai Bhoi village, Phumen Shadap, approached BSF personnel at BOP Muktapur (4th Battalion BSF) with an urgent appeal to assist Sanjay Shadap (45), who was suffering from Hematemesis (blood vomit) and required immediate medical attention. With the village inaccessible due to poor road conditions and no ambulance service able to reach the location, the situation called for swift action.
Responding promptly, the force deployed a vehicle to reach the village through the challenging terrain. The patient was safely evacuated to BOP Muktapur, from where he was transferred to a BSF ambulance for further evacuation to NEIGRIHMS, Shillong.
Due to the coordinated and timely efforts of BSF personnel, Shadap’s life was saved. He is currently stable and receiving expert care at NEIGRIHMS, the BSF said in a statement issued here.
