Maha: Three critical patients evacuated by air from flood-ravaged Bhamragad

Gadchiroli, Sep 27 (UNI) In a swift medical evacuation operation amid severe flooding in Bhamragad tehsil of Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district, three critically ill patients were airlifted to Hedri on Sunday for advanced treatment, officials said.
The operation was carried out after district authorities were informed that the condition of three patients had become serious and immediate medical intervention was required.
Acting under the directions of District Collector Avishyant Panda, arrangements were made to transport the patients despite floodwaters disrupting road connectivity in the remote region.
The patients included seven-year-old Sangita Chukku Usendi, Apeksha Rishi Alam and Roshan China Madavi. Sangita had been brought from Binagunda to the Laheri Primary Health Centre on Saturday and was subsequently airlifted from Laheri to Hedri for specialised treatment.
Officials said one of the patients was suffering from sickle cell disease and required urgent medical care unavailable locally.
A helicopter operated by Lloyds Metals, stationed in the region for emergency medical services, was pressed into service for the evacuation.
The operation was coordinated by Tribal Development Project Officer Amar Raut and Bhamragad Tehsildar Kishor Bagde. Nirmala Alam and China Kudyami accompanied the patients during the transfer.
Authorities said the timely airlift ensured that all three patients were safely shifted to Hedri despite the difficult conditions created by flooding in the area.
