Kupwara: Braving the bone-chilling cold, people in Hangnikoot village of Villgam Handwara on Thursday morning carried a woman patient on a stretcher to a hospital, some five kilometres from her residence.
The woman, according to locals, developed some pregnancy-related complications in the morning after which her husband, Farooq Ahmad Teedwa, sought help from neighbours and relatives.
The woman was wrapped in a blanket and put on a stretcher. Later, men ferried her on shoulders and walked five kilometres to a health-centre in Taratpora.
