Kamjong, April 21, 2025: In a dramatic life-saving operation, the Assam Rifles successfully conducted a critical medical air evacuation of a two-year-old girl from a remote village in Manipur’s Kamjong District yesterday. The toddler, identified as Chuishut, accidentally fell into a water tank in her village of Grihang early on the morning of April 21st.
The incident occurred around 5:40 AM in Grihang, a village situated in one of Manipur’s most inaccessible regions. With poor road connectivity and no air access, the prospects for timely medical intervention for the young girl looked bleak.
Responding immediately to a distress call, Assam Rifles troops, including medical personnel, rushed to the location. They administered crucial first aid to stabilize Chuishut before swiftly coordinating a military helicopter for evacuation. Despite the significant logistical challenges posed by the remote location, seamless coordination ensured the child was airlifted efficiently.
Within hours of the accident, Chuishut arrived at the Assam Rifles Military Hospital in Mantripukhari, Imphal. There, she received expert pediatric care, which proved vital in bringing her back from a critical condition. Medical professionals emphasized that the timely intervention was crucial and any delay could have resulted in tragedy.
The child’s parents, overcome with emotion and relief, expressed their profound gratitude. “We thought we were going to lose her. Assam Rifles gave her back to us,” they shared.
This successful rescue operation highlights the crucial role the Assam Rifles plays beyond security, acting as vital first responders and providers of humanitarian aid in the challenging terrains of the North East. Their readiness and commitment continue to foster trust within local communities.
