SRINAGAR: In a significant move aimed at strengthening the well-being of the people residing along the border, the Indian Army has successfully organized a comprehensive medical camp for the border villages of Urusa,Chakra,Isham and Goalta following the recent ceasefire agreement.

The medical camp, which was set up under the aegis of the Chinar Corps Kalapahar Brigade/ Kathi Battalion, was conducted on 20 May 2025 and offered free medical consultation, diagnostic services, and distribution of medicines to residents of the border villages. The initiative comes in the wake of the renewed peace and ceasefire agreement, aimed at ensuring stability and promoting the welfare of the local population, who have faced a challenging and uncertain environment due to the volatility along the border.

The medical camp saw the participation of numerous military doctors, paramedics, and health professionals, who provided essential healthcare services to over 450 people from the border villages. A variety of medical conditions were treated, ranging from routine health check-ups, immunization for children, and specialized treatments for chronic ailments, to emergency medical care for those in need.

The medical camp also focused on spreading awareness about preventative healthcare, hygiene, and the importance of regular health check-ups. Additionally, the Indian Army made arrangements to provide essential medicines for common ailments and chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and respiratory issues, to ensure continuity of care for the villagers.

Local leaders and residents expressed their gratitude for the initiative, acknowledging the relief it brought to many who had been unable to access proper medical care due to the remoteness and previous security challenges in the region.

This medical camp is part of a broader initiative by the Indian Army to engage with local communities and foster stronger bonds of trust and cooperation, particularly after the restoration of peace along the border.The Indian Army remains dedicated to the peace and prosperity of border regions, ensuring that both security and essential services are delivered to those who need them most.
