Bibehara Anantnag (J&K): At around 10:20 pm on Tuesday night, when a magnitude 6.6 earthquake drove people in north India outside their houses running for safety, doctors at a hospital in Anantnag district of quake-prone Jammu and Kashmir kept their nerve intact and delivered a baby through lower-segment cesarean section.
Ever since the footage of the surgery went viral on social media, the doctors and the paramedics assisting them at the Sub-district hospital Bijbehara in Anantnag are being hailed as heroes for their bravery and composure while delivering the baby and saving the lives of the mother and the child. ''Kudos to staff of SDH Bijbehara who conducted the LSCS smoothly and thank god everything is alright,'' the district's chief medical officer wrote in a tweet.
