Rajouri, DEC 12
The Indian Army recently organized a Medical Patrol in Bambal, Rajouri, to address the healthcare needs of the Gujjar and Bakarwal communities. These nomadic groups, residing in remote and often inaccessible areas, face significant challenges in accessing basic amenities, including medical care.
Recognizing these challenges, the Indian Army undertook this initiative to provide much-needed medical assistance and support. The patrol not only ensured the safety and security of the residents but also extended vital healthcare services. A total of 38 individuals, including 21 women, 8 men, and 9 children, benefited from this outreach program. The beneficiaries expressed profound gratitude for the medical aid and attention provided by the Army.
This initiative highlights the Indian Army’s commitment to the welfare of the population in far-flung regions. Such efforts are part of its broader strategy to bridge gaps in essential services and ensure that vulnerable communities are not left behind.
By focusing on healthcare, the Army is addressing a critical need and demonstrating a humanitarian approach in its operations.
Medical patrols like this one are a regular feature of the Indian Army’s outreach activities in Jammu and Kashmir. These initiatives go beyond security responsibilities, showcasing the Army’s dedication to improving the quality of life for local populations. The successful execution of the Bambal Medical Patrol underscores the importance of these efforts in fostering trust and strengthening the bond between the Army and the communities it serves.
The Indian Army remains steadfast in its dual role of ensuring security and supporting development in remote areas. Through its sustained efforts, the Army continues to uplift and empower marginalized communities, ensuring that even the most isolated populations receive the care and support they need.
