The Indian Air Force evacuated two critically injured patients from the remote Mechuka region to Dibrugarh for advanced medical care.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted a medical evacuation from the remote Mechuka area in Arunachal Pradesh, transporting two seriously injured patients to Dibrugarh for specialized treatment.
The operation, carried out by IAF helicopter crews, involved a rapid response to a critical situation in the high‑altitude region, where ground transport is often hampered by difficult terrain and limited infrastructure.
Both patients were stabilized during the flight and are now receiving advanced care at a tertiary hospital in Dibrugarh, Assam. IAF officials confirmed that the patients are in stable condition.
The airlift underscores the IAF’s role in providing emergency medical support to remote communities across India’s northeastern frontier.
