In a humanitarian gesture following flashfloods and landslides across Jammu and Kashmir, Army’s 26 Rashtriya Rifles unit organised a five-day free medical camp under Operation Sadbhavana in the Bhalesa area of Doda district.

The medical outreach, launched to assist the flood-affected residents, has already attended to over 100 patients, with doctors and medical staff available on site to provide continuous healthcare services, including free medicines.

While speaking media, Dr Salma, Sub District Hospital, Gandoh, said, “Such camps should be organised more frequently so that the people can benefit. People are receiving free medicines, and doctors and medical teams are available. More than 100 patients have visited till now.”

Former Sarpanch of Dharveri, Mohd Iqbal, also appreciated the Army’s efforts, stating that the camp had served multiple purposes beyond healthcare. “This Army camp is not only used for medical purposes, but also for relief work. They have provided medicines to almost 100 patients,” he said.
