Poonch: DD, In its continued efforts to support local communities, the Indian Army conducted a medical patrol in the remote border areas of Devta and Khet. This initiative highlights the Indian Army’s steadfast commitment to the welfare and well-being of citizens living in difficult and underserved regions, alongside its primary role of ensuring national security. The medical team provided essential health check-ups and distributed medicines to villagers with limited access to healthcare. In addition, the team educated residents on health, hygiene, and safety measures to combat the challenges posed by harsh weather conditions. The local population welcomed the Indian Army’s efforts with warmth and appreciation. They also expressed the need for more frequent visits by such teams to address their ongoing healthcare requirements. Initiatives like this strengthen the bond between the Indian Army and the local population, fostering trust and mutual cooperation. By reaching out to remote communities, the Indian Army continues to bridge the gap between the Indian Army and the Awam, showcasing its commitment to building a healthier and more connected society.DD
