A pregnant woman was rescued by officials of the ‘Team Beacon’ of Border Roads Organisation (BRO) after an avalanche struck the Pani Matha region of Zojila in northern India’s Jammu and Kashmir.

This incident took place on April 23.

Visuals showed the officials rescuing the pregnant lady who was inside of an ambulance. The ambulance was being dragged ahead by a crane and the officials ensured that the lady who was inside was safe. The whole area was covered with thick snow and the ambulance could not have been taken out any other way apart from using a crane.

Earlier, a massive landslide in the Gangroo area of Ramban district, saw traffic being blocked on the Jammu and Kashmir National Highway.
