Kupwara, Oct 18 (JKNS): In a significant initiative towards community welfare and accessible healthcare, the Indian Army organised a medical camp at Keran Bowl on 18 October 2026, benefiting residents of the remote border region.
The camp aimed to provide essential healthcare services to the local population, particularly those residing in far-flung areas with limited access to specialised medical facilities.
A team of nine doctors representing various medical specialities participated in the camp and provided medical consultations, health check ups and necessary medical advice. The initiative received an encouraging response, with more than 260 local residents, including children, women and men, availing themselves of the medical facilities.
The medical camp benefited people from across the 25 hamlets of Keran Bowl, bringing essential healthcare services closer to their homes and helping address the medical needs of the local community.
The residents of Keran Bowl expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Indian Army for organising the camp and extending healthcare support to the people of this remote border area. The locals appreciated the Army’s continued efforts towards their welfare and well being, acknowledging that the Indian Army has always stood by them and consistently looked after their needs.
The initiative once again highlighted the Indian Army’s commitment to community outreach, humanitarian assistance and strengthening its bond with the local population. Such endeavours reinforce mutual trust, goodwill and the enduring relationship between the Indian Army and the people of Keran Bowl.
For the residents of Keran, the Indian Army is not merely a security force but also a trusted partner in their welfare and development.(JKNS)
