Bandipora, March 25:- The 3rd batellion Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on Thursday organised a free medical health check-up camp and distributed free medicines under the Civic Action Program in Aragam village of Bandipora district.
People gathered in large numbers for the health camp organised by the 3 Battalion of CRPF. Rakesh Kumar Commanding Officer 3 Bn of CRPF speaking to media said, Though the main role of ours is to give internal security, we are always ready to provide any assistance to the public be it in times of elections, earthquakes, landslides or in civic programs. Central schemes should reach poor people in the villages. This medical camp aims at that.
He said that the 3 Battalion had organised several other free health check-up camps in the Bandipora district earlier.
Here at Aragam specialist doctors check the patients without consultation fees and we distribute medicines for free, he said
He added that over 2,000 villagers availed themselves of medical benefits at the camp.
Mohammad Anwar, Local Sarpanch of Aragam said,
We get treatment for all kinds of ailments here. I thank the CRPF for the work they are doing for us. He said that the CRPF has done much to help for us. They conducted several camps here. The medical centre is very far from here, so this camp is of great help to poor people in the village.
