Itanagar, Aug 22 Demonstrating courage and compassion beyond the call of duty, Army troops conducted a daring operation and successfully rescued an injured Arunachal Pradesh policeman, officials said on Friday.
A defence spokesman said that troops of the Gajraj Corps of the Indian Army conducted a daring rescue operation in the late hours on Thursday in the remote RR Hill region of Arunachal Pradesh.
He said that the operation was launched after urgent information was received regarding a critically injured police man of Bomdila Police Station who had sustained a skull fracture injury.
Braving dense forests and challenging terrain at night, the Army team reached the location, administered essential first aid and medical care, and ensured the injured police man's safe evacuation to Tezpur in Assam for advanced medical treatment.
The spokesman said that this prompt and coordinated humanitarian effort not only saved a precious life but also highlighted the spirit of synergy between the Army, Police, and civil administration.
"It stands as a true reflection of the Indian Army's ethos of 'Service Before Self', where valour, compassion, and commitment to humanity remain paramount," he said.
The Indian Army extended heartfelt wishes for the speedy recovery of the brave policeman.
The operation reaffirmed the Army's role as a pillar of reassurance and solidarity for the people of the Northeast region, upholding the finest traditions of service, humanity, and national responsibility, the spokesman stated.
