Imphal, January 19 2019:
A Medical camp for border villages was conducted at Poi village of Ukhrul district by Somsai Battalion of 10 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of IGAR (South) on 18th January 2019 .
The village is located in north of Ukhrul district sharing border with Myanmar.
Due to non availability of any medical infrastructure, facilities and remoteness of area, Poi villagers requested Assam Rifles to organise a medical camp for the needy people.
Medical camp at Poi brought much needed medical assistance at the doorstep of the villagers where more than 365 locals including children were treated by the team of doctors for various ailments and free medicines were also distributed to all.
The aim of the initiative is to provide free medical treatment and consultation to the remote villages of Ukhrul district where requisite medical facilities are not available due to poor infrastructure along the Indo Myanmar Border.
The village Headmen and villagers appreciated the initiative taken by the Assam Rifles and expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the medical camp at their doorstep.
Such camps, if organized regularly, will go a long way in bringing the people of Manipur and Assam Rifles closer for sustained peace and prosperity
in Manipur.
