Bandipora: The District Administration Bandipora on Thursday performed the most difficult operation so far to evacuate a critically ill female patient from Gujran hamlet of Gurez valley close to Line of Control.
After receiving an SOS about a critically ill patient in the remote village of Gujran who needed immediate evacuation for better medical treatment, the Deputy Commissioner Bandipora Dr Owais directed for airlifting the patient from Snowbound village.

The patient was shifted to Bandipora where a critical care ambulance was already placed near the helipad where from the patient was shifted to district hospital Bandipora for treatment.
Doctors said the patient was in need of immediate medical aid that was not possible in the remote village.
