CM Sukhu ensured ailing 70-year-old Dorje’s airlift to hospital
Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu intervened to ensure that ailing Dorje requiring immediate specialist medical treatment was airlifted to a nearby hospital for best treatment.
On being informed that 70-year-old Dorje of Keylong Kabiling village of Lahaul-Spiti district was seriously ill and needed immediate medical attention, the Chief Minister requested the Indian Air Force to airlift him as Atal Tunnel was closed for traffic due to heavy snowfall.
As harsh weather conditions made it impossible to shift Dorje to a hospital for the treatment by road, Chief Minister contacted the Indian Air Force and the brave ‘Touch The Sky With Glory’ saviors airlifted Dorje and another patient from Stingri to Bhuntar in an Air Force helicopter with the help of the district administration.
