Timely administered first aid by Sehlon Battalion of 28 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of IGAR (South) saved the life of a young lady and prevented her from succumbing to her injuries caused by an accident that occurred amidst the dense forests of Samtal salient.
On 10 January 2019, Mrs Nemneiting, aged 25 years of Changjal village, along with her husband, entered the woods astride the village to carry out the unavoidable mundane chore of chopping and gathering firewood. At around 1600 hours, while they were absorbed at the task at hand, a heavy branch, chopped from a tree accidently landed on her head and knocked her unconscious for a few moments. Her husband immediately sought help from the Company Operating Base. On receiving this information about the mishap, the Company Commander of the Changjal Company Operating Base rushed to the spot and rescued the lady from the forest. Mrs Nemneiting was evacuated to the Company Operating Base where she was administered with first aid to heal the injuries on her fore head as a result of the accident. Mrs Nemneiting and her husband were extremely grateful to Sehlon Battalion for their efforts at a crucial time when it was needed the most.
