CISF personnel saves US man's life at Delhi airport
Prompt action by an ASI of CISF saved the life of a Parisbound US passenger at the Delhi airport, a senior official said today
New Delhi: Prompt action by an ASI of CISF saved the life of a Paris-bound US passenger at the Delhi airport, a senior official said today.
Frank Russell (68), holding an American passport, suddenly fainted and fell in the terminal area of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, after he got down from a Mumbai flight on Thursday night.
CISF Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) P S Pal saw Russell falling and he immediately rushed to help him, he said. "Without losing any time, the ASI started administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) medical procedure to the passenger.
Russell soon regained his senses and was rushed to a hospital," the official said. The US passenger is reported by the doctors to be stable now, he said.
Russell was to travel to Paris from here. Acknowledging Pal's presence of mind and prompt response, CISF chief Rajesh Rajan has declared to decorate him with the DG's commendation disc, the top organisational service honour for CISF personnel, he said.
The Central Industrial Security Force is designated as the lead force to guard 60 civil airports in the country.
