Good work by Assam Rifles and the medical teams. 546 patients is a significant number. It's heartening to see the armed forces involved in such community welfare activities. This builds a lot of goodwill. Hope they can make it a regular feature, not just around special days.

While the effort is commendable, it highlights a deeper issue. Why are people still languishing in IDP camps needing such basic medical outreach? The focus should also be on permanent solutions and strengthening the local public health infrastructure so that camps aren't needed forever.

As a woman from the region, I truly appreciate this. Special emphasis on women's health, especially for pregnant and lactating mothers in difficult circumstances, is so important. Jai Hind to the doctors and nurses who volunteered their time. This is real nation-building.

Collaboration is key! Assam Rifles, the district hospital, and private services all working together. This is the model that should be replicated. Early detection in these camps can save lives. More power to such initiatives.
