JAMMU, Apr 21: As part of winning the hearts and minds and civic action initiatives, the Rashtriya Rifles, Sarh, orgainsed a free medical camp at Village Lancha in Mahore today.
The camp was as part of the Operation Sampark to address the genuine medical requirement of the local populace belonging to the remote areas.
According to a handout issued here by the organizers, the Lancha village is devoid of any medical facilities and locals have to travel large distances all the way to Mahore for basic medical facilities. So, the mini medical camp organised by the Army was a big relief to the locals. The patients were examined by the Medical Officer and Nursing Assistants of the Rashtriya Rifles Battalion.
Over 300 people, including children availed the facility of the free camp. Free medicines were also distributed to the patients, after their examination by the doctor.
