In yet another act of bravery, Army personnel brave heavy snowfall to carry pregnant Kashmiri to hospital

Indian army soldiers muster at the base camp after coming back from training at Siachen Glacier, October 4, 2003. For 18 years, Pakistani and Indian soldiers have clung to Siachen, which lies north of the end of the Line of Control dividing disputed Kashmir, and just below the border with China. [Siachen is 78 km (48 miles) long and lies at an altitude of 5,400 metres, the world's highest battlefield with temperatures as low as - 60ºC (-76 Farenheit).

In yet another act of incredible bravery and commitment to help people, the Chinar Corps of the Indian Army helped a pregnant Kashmiri woman reach a hospital to deliver her baby.

More than 100 armed forces personnel carried Shamima, the expecting mother, on a stretcher for four hours, braving heavy snowfall. About 30 civilians joined them in their efforts to ensure that the woman, who had gone into labour, reaches the hospital in time. The security personnel were mobilised after a group of locals approached them, seeking help.

A video of the effort was uploaded on the official Twitter handle of the Chinar Corps of the Indian Army, a unit that focuses on military operations in Kashmir. In the video clip, a group of Armymen can be seen taking turns to carry the woman to the hospital.

In the caption of the video, the men informed that both the mother and baby are doing well now.
