In a similar incident, army personnel at Karalpura in Kupwara earned plaudits online for helping a pregnant woman reach hospital on time for the delivery as Kashmir remained cut off from the country due to heavy snowfall.
Several pictures of the soldiers, carrying the woman on a makeshift stretcher had also gone viral social media.
