It was arguably one of the most daring and risky airlifts that was ever undertaken by the Indian Navy. A heavily pregnant woman who was about to go into labour had to be brought to safety during the destructive Kerala floods last year. 25-year-old Sajitha Jabil, who lives in one of the worst affected areas in Chengamanad town near Aluva, was rescued on a helicopter.

The operation was spearheaded by Commander Vijay Varma of the Indian Navy as pilot-in-command.

The almost heart-stopping video of the rescue showed Sajitha being airlifted to safety by the helicopter. Despite all the risks involved and Sajitha, who could not spread her arms as instructed swinging wildly as she was being lifted, the Navy brought her to safety.
