Srinagar, Oct 22 (UNI) The Chinar Corps of the Indian Army, in collaboration with Pritam Spiritual Foundation (PSF), organised medical camps in north Kashmir from October 12 to 22 for differently-abled people.
During the camps, 14 artificial limbs were fitted, 250 hearing-impaired beneficiaries received assistance, and 258 assistive devices and appliances were distributed free of cost among beneficiaries from Kupwara and adjoining areas, the defence spokesman said.
“The endeavour exemplified the Indian Army’s enduring commitment to the welfare, empowerment and holistic development of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
