Kargil, Jan 28: Acting promptly on a distress call, the police in Kargil facilitated the safe transfer of a pregnant woman to a healthcare facility after heavy snowfall blocked the road connecting her residence to the hospital.
According to official sources, the Lambardar of Tangole village informed the police that a pregnant woman required immediate medical assistance, but continuous snowfall had rendered the stretch from Choskor Thang to Tringocha Tangol inaccessible.
