Good work by the Assam Rifles. These border areas need consistent support. However, while medical camps are excellent, I hope there is also a long-term plan to improve permanent healthcare infrastructure in Arunachal. One-time check-ups are not a substitute for accessible hospitals.

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 Our soldiers are truly multi-talented - from guarding the borders with courage to showing compassion with medical check-ups. The part about the canine unit in Jorhat is also impressive. It shows the all-round capability required to secure our sensitive northeastern frontier.

As someone who has travelled in the Northeast, I can say these efforts build immense goodwill. The local communities in Changlang and other border districts often feel isolated. Such direct outreach by the Assam Rifles bridges that gap and strengthens national integration. More power to them!

Back pain and knee pain are so common in hilly, agricultural communities. Distributing medicines and providing counselling is a very practical help. This is nation-building at the grassroots level. Salute to the Jairampur Battalion!

The dual focus of the article is interesting—compassionate outreach and high-tech canine training. Both are crucial for the region's security and development. It shows a holistic approach. Hope the PIB officials' visit leads to more awareness and support for such frontier forces.
