A sudden cloudburst in the Ramban district triggered chaos along the strategic NH-44, leaving dozens of passengers and local residents stranded. In the face of this natural calamity, the Indian Army sprang into action, launching an immediate and coordinated rescue and relief operation.
With torrential rains cutting off crucial routes and causing landslides, the Army’s quick deployment proved lifesaving. Troops provided emergency medical aid, essential supplies, and temporary shelters to those affected. Multiple teams were seen working tirelessly alongside civil authorities to clear debris and restore connectivity on the key highway that links Jammu with Srinagar.
Army officials on the ground emphasized the importance of swift response in high-altitude disasters. “Our priority was to ensure safety, provide medical support, and facilitate movement for civilians trapped by the sudden weather event,” said one senior officer. “Our mantra remains clear – We Serve, We Protect.”
