CRPF Heroes in Dantewada: 165th Battalion Jawans Carry Pregnant Tribal Woman Over Rugged Terrain to Safety
DANTEWADA, March 02, 2026 — In a powerful display of humanity and devotion to duty, the personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) 165th Battalion have once again proven to be the lifeline for remote communities in Chhattisgarh.
When a tribal woman in the rugged and inaccessible hills of Bailadila went into sudden labor, her fellow villagers, lacking immediate transportation or infrastructure, turned to the local CRPF camp for urgent assistance.
Demonstrating the force’s commitment to the “Citizen-First” approach, Officer Rajesh Gurjar and his dedicated team responded without hesitation to the medical emergency.
Faced with treacherous and difficult terrain that vehicles could not navigate, the jawans fashioned a makeshift stretcher using a traditional cot to transport the woman.
The CRPF team carried her on their shoulders for several kilometers through the challenging landscape of Dantewada to ensure she reached the nearest hospital in time for professional medical care. This act of selfless service, highlighted by the CRPF on their official social media channels, underscores the vital role security forces play as both protectors and “family” in the country’s most interior regions.
The incident has drawn widespread praise for the 165th Battalion, reaffirming the deep bond of trust between the tribal population and the “True Heroes in Uniform.
