As a strong earthquake shook many parts of north India on 21 March 2023, and people rushed out of buildings, panic gripped an operation theatre in Jammu and Kashmir.

Doctors were performing a Caesarean section procedure at the Sub District Hospital, Bijbehara when the tremors hit. First equipment started shaking, and then a power cut plunged the room into darkness, with only slight illumination from the machines.

In a video shared by the Anantnag health department, the medical staff are heard praying while continuing the procedure. One is heard saying, "Keep the baby safe."

Eventually, the lights come back on, and a medic says, "You are fine."

The health department hailed the medical staff for conducting the C-section smoothly.
