2 patients from Tindi in Lahaul and Spiti airlifted to Kullu for medical aid

Two patients were on Friday evacuated from the Udaipur Sub-Division in Lahaul and Spiti district for medical treatment to Kullu.

The Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Udaipur, Manoj Thakur, stated that two patients were airlifted from the Tindi area to Kullu for medical aid this morning.

“The first patient, Tara Devi, a pregnant woman from Bada village in Tindi, was accompanied by her two-year-old child. Tara was in need of immediate medical attention due to pregnancy-related complications. The second patient, Devki, 60 years old, hailing from the village of Kuthad under the Udaipur Sub-Division, was suffering from an ear infection with active bleeding. Both patients were airlifted from the Tindi heliport to Kullu,” the SDM said.

“The patients were transported to the Regional Hospital in Kullu, where they will receive further medical treatment,” he added.

Lahaul and Spiti MLA Anuradha Rana thanked Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu for his immediate response. She had requested the Chief Minister yesterday to provide chopper service to airlift these two patients from the Tindi region.
