Srinagar, May 20 : 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.
