Srinagar, Dec 28: Pulwama police has rescued two women in need of a medical emergency and also helped people to take dead body to native area for the last rites.
An official told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that in a display of prompt action and commitment to public service, police responded to two separate distress calls amidst heavy snowfall in the region.
In the first instance, a distress call was received reporting that a group of people, along with a deceased body, were stranded at Wahibugh while en route to Qazipora Budgam, he said.
