Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his joy for Deepali Jhaveri, an Indian woman who is awarded by Japan’s Joto Fire Station for rescuing a man by giving him cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at Dandiya Masti 2022 in Tokyo in October last year.
Expressing his happiness, PM Modi tweeted, “This is gladdening to know, and it underscores the importance of giving timely assistance to any person affected.” He made the statement in response to a tweet by the Embassy of India in Japan. The Embassy of India in Japan tweeted, “Ms. Deepali Jhaveri, an Indian resident in Japan, and Mr. Ota, were awarded by Joto Fire Station for rescuing a man giving him CPR and AED at Dandiya Masti 2022, Tokyo, last October. Dandiya Raas is a traditional dance of Gujarat State.”
During the Garba event of Navratri in Japan 2022, a person’s heartbeat suddenly stopped according to the translation of the NHK World Japan report.
However, Deepali Jhaveri, who came to play Garba, immediately performed life-saving measures like CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) and saved his life, as per the NHK World Japan report.
She continued these measures until the arrival of the emergency help squad. She was awarded by the Fire Department for her courage.
