Man carries 7-month-old baby across landslide-hit road in Himachal Pradesh, video goes viral
The rescue video went viral as monsoon landslides force emergency crews in Chamba to carry patients on foot when roads are blocked.
- In Himachal Pradesh's Chamba district, an ambulance staff member carried a 7-month-old baby across a landslide-hit road on foot after the route became too dangerous for vehicles. The responder navigated falling debris while holding the infant, ensuring safe passage.
- Heavy monsoon rains have triggered frequent landslides across Himachal Pradesh, forcing emergency crews to travel on foot. Damaged roads in districts such as Chamba have repeatedly forced ambulance crews to leave vehicles behind when reaching patients in need.
- Dressed in a safety jacket, the responder carefully navigated unstable terrain while holding the bundled child. People watched from the opposite side as he moved through the most dangerous, exposed sections where rocks continued to fall.
- Sharing the video, Nikhil Saini wrote, "He deserves all the fame and applause." People hailed the rescue as an act of true courage, with many calling the ambulance worker a hero for prioritizing the infant's safety.
- Others have expressed hope that authorities improve road safety and infrastructure in landslide-prone areas. Enhanced infrastructure would ensure emergency responders and patients are not forced into such dangerous situations during future monsoon seasons.
