A soldier stationed in Ladakh suffered a severe injury resulting in the amputation of his hand while operating machinery. In a race against time, the Indian Air Force swiftly airlifted him to Delhi’s Army’s Research and Referral Hospital for surgery within the critical window of 6 to 8 hours. Despite the challenging conditions, a successful nine-hour surgery reattached his hand, including the thumb and index finger. The soldier is now stable and undergoing post-surgery care, marking a remarkable feat in military medical intervention.
