Rajouri, October 21
As a part of the military-civic action programme, the 40 Rashtriya Rifles (Punjab), under the aegis of Romeo Force, organised a medical-cum-veterinary camp under Operation Sadbhavana at a primary school, Loran, in Poonch district yesterday.

Defence spokesperson said a team of medical officers and nursing assistants from the Army and Civil Hospital, Mandi, rendered services at the camp. Lectures on immunisation, family planning, child health, hygiene and sanitation were also organised to create awareness amongst local people.

Around 700 patients from far-flung villages were provided with medical facilities at the camp. Medicines were also distributed among the poor free of cost. — TNS
