In a compassionate outreach attempt under Operation Sadhbhavan, the Indian Army’s Rashtriya Rifles unit located in Bhadrawah organized a free medical and veterinary camp for tribal nomads living in high height grasslands of Bhadrao in Jammu and Kashmir. The camp was held in Jai Valley, which is located 7,850 feet above sea level.
The initiative aims to provide necessary healthcare to communities living in areas devoid of large -scale basic facilities.
More than 300 tribals who reach up with their livestock annually reach with their livestock, they received medical attention and free medicines from the team of doctors and veterinary experts from the army and SDH Bhadrawah.
Officials said the initiative was part of the army’s continuous efforts to strengthen their relations with the local population and to ensure welfare for groups of margins living in difficult areas.
“The Indian Army is committed to the good of all citizens, especially in far-flung areas.
Local people expressed gratitude, highlighting the consistent presence of the army as a source of support and assurance in the region. “We are grateful to soldiers who trek not only with supply and care and compassion in these mountains,” Karim said.
Another tribal Rahman Ali said, “High altitude grasslands are often cut off from basic services. The army is with us. We feel safe and we are happy. We are grateful to the army for organizing this medical camp.”
Rahman said, “We had to face a lot of difficulty here. There is no hospital or dispensary in the region. But today, the Indian Army has set up a medical camp here in these mountains. This helped us a lot – we got health check -up, and medicines are being provided for free. We are grateful to the Indian Army.” (AI)
