NEW DELHI: In a remarkable display of quick thinking and professional training, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Sub-Inspector, Laxman Upadhyay, saved the life of a passenger at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, New Delhi. The incident occurred around 10:52 am at Boarding Gate No. 6, where Upadhyay was on duty.
The passenger, identified as Balbir Singh, was scheduled to travel from Delhi to Vancouver on Vistara Flight No. AI-185, which was due to depart at 07:20 hrs. Suddenly, Singh lost consciousness and collapsed on the floor. Observing this, Upadhyay sprang into action without wasting a moment.
With the assistance of other CISF personnel stationed at the airport, Upadhyay administered Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to Singh. CPR is a life-saving technique used in emergencies when a person’s heartbeat or breathing has stopped. It involves chest compressions often combined with artificial ventilation to manually preserve brain function.
