Shangshak Battalion of IGAR (South) conducted a medical camp under Assam Rifles' Civic Action Programme at Makan village in Kamjong district on World Leprosy Eradication Day, observed on Monday.
According to PRO 1GAR (S), the camp was, organised since the locals don't have access to any medical facilities in nearby area and situated quite far from Kamjong district HQ where the basic medical facilities are available.
A total of 254 villagers (73 men, 106 women and 75 children) from Makan and nearby villages were examined and provided with basic medication.
The initiative by Assam Rifles has solved the long pending need of medical assistance for the villagers, the PRO said, adding that the village authorities applauded the efforts of the Assam Rifles for such kind gesture which will improve the mutual trust and main peace and harmony in the region.
