- Say what happened and how many people are hurt.
- Describe their condition: awake, breathing, bleeding.
- Stay on the line and follow the operator's instructions.
- Send someone to meet the ambulance if you can.
Altitude sickness
- Signs: headache, nausea, dizziness, unusual tiredness, poor sleep.
- Stop climbing and rest. Drink water and eat light food.
- If symptoms do not ease, or get worse, go down to a lower height.
- Confusion, breathlessness at rest, or trouble walking in a straight line are danger signs: go down at once and call 1122.
Cold and hypothermia
- Shivering, slurred speech and clumsiness are early signs.
- Move the person out of wind and rain. Take off wet clothes.
- Wrap in dry layers or a blanket, including head and neck.
- Give warm sweet drinks only if they are awake and can swallow.
- Do not rub their arms and legs and do not give alcohol. Call 1122 if they stop shivering or become drowsy.
Bleeding and wounds
- Press firmly on the wound with a clean cloth.
- If blood soaks through, add more cloth on top. Do not remove the first one.
- Raise the injured limb if you do not suspect a broken bone.
- Rinse small cuts with clean water and cover with a clean dressing.
- Heavy bleeding that will not stop: call 1122.
Sprains and broken bones
- Keep the person still and do not try to straighten the limb.
- Support the injured part in the position you found it, using clothing or a padded splint.
- Do not give food or drink in case surgery is needed.
- Get medical help. For neck, back or head injuries, do not move the person and call 1122.
Burns

- Do not use ice, butter or toothpaste, and do not burst blisters.
- Large, deep or face burns: call 1122.
Not breathing: CPR (adult)

Why we built Kashmir Hub
Tourism is one of the biggest opportunities for Azad Jammu & Kashmir, but visitors still struggle to find reliable information and trusted local services. Kashmir Hub is our effort to digitize tourism in the region and make a trip easier to plan, from the first idea to the last mile.
- Connect visitors with local guides, hotels and transport (jeeps and cars), so they can find and contact the services they need.
- Bring hotels, guest houses, guides and vehicle owners online, so local businesses can reach more customers.
- Keep key safety information in one place: hospitals, helplines and first aid.
- Share the valleys, lakes and districts of Azad Kashmir with the world.
