Overview
- A video that circulated on July 23 shows an ambulance staff member in Chamba carrying a bundled seven-month-old baby across a road clogged with boulders, loose rock and thick mud.
- The rescuer wore a bright orange-red jacket and moved the infant carefully while other emergency personnel and local residents watched and helped from a distance.
- The clip was shared on X by user Nikhil Saini and quickly drew widespread praise online for the worker’s immediate action to get the child to the ambulance.
- News reports do not identify the rescuer or record any official follow-up from authorities about the incident or recognition for the worker.
- The footage underscores a recurring problem during the monsoon in Himachal Pradesh where landslides and washed-out roads force ambulance teams to reach patients on foot and strain emergency response.
