Imphal, July 21 2019:
A medical camp was conducted at Tusom CV village of Ukhrul district by Somsai Battalion of 10 Sector Assam Rifles under aegis of IGAR (South) on today.
The village is located in remote north of Ukhrul district, well away from any major road artery.
Due to non availability of basic healthcare facilities near Indo-Myanmar border and remoteness of the area, the Assam Rifles organised the medical camp for the village under the "We Care" initiative, said IGAR (South).
The medical team comprised of a medical officer and nursing staff from Somsai Battalion who gave much needed medical assistance at the doorstep of the villagers.
A total of 125 patients were provided consultation and medication during the camp.
The Assam Rifles also provided conveyance to the villagers of nearby villages for comfortable transit to medical camp location.
This genuine caring initiative of Assam Rifles was appreciated by the villagers, said AR.
