On completion of the medical camps, today Mr Sudarshan Natu, President Rotary Club, Pune and the team of Doctors and representatives of Rotary Club and Borderless World Foundation interacted with Lt Gen DP Pandey, Chinar Corps Commander. Lt Gen DP Pandey appreciated their efforts to come all the way from Maharashtra to provide medical support in border areas of Baramulla. Their efforts are specially commendable as the trip has been taken facing the challenges of Covid-19 pandemic. This spirit of selfless service by volunteers is praiseworthy.
The Corps Commander mentioned that he was glad that the team chose Baramulla for the effort. People of Baramulla have contributed to peace in Kashmir since Octber 1947, the time when tribals sent by Pakistan entered Baramulla town & ravaged it. In those challenging times the people of Baramulla and the Indian Army fought alongside to save Kashmir from falling into the hands of Pakistan. Local heroes like Maqbool Sherwani died fighting the tribals. The town of Baramulla has always been peaceful & committed to development. He also mentioned that the town is blessed with a secular fabric and has Mandirs, Masjids, Gurudwaras & Churches, with people taking pride in showcasing all of them with same zeal and fervour.
