Srinagar: The Chinar Corps of the Indian Army conducted a medical camp on Monday in the border area of Uri in Baramulla district for civilians impacted by recent ceasefire violations.

The spokesman said a dedicated team, including a Medical Officer and Psychologist, offered free consultations, basic treatment, mental health support, and awareness sessions on hygiene and preventive care.

The initiative was welcomed with gratitude by the local population and reflects the Army’s continued efforts to support and serve the people of Jammu & Kashmir, living by its motto.
The spokesman said Chinar Corps remains dedicated to the peace and prosperity of border regions, ensuring both security and essential services are delivered to those who need them most.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that as tensions between India and Pakistan continue to escalate, the Haryana state government has cancelled the leave of all doctors in both private and government hospitals and instructed them to remain alert. Hospitals have also been directed to reserve 25 per cent of their beds for emergencies. This decision comes in the wake of Operation Sindoor, India’s ongoing military operation against Pakistan in response to last month's deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 tourists dead.
As part of a nationwide initiative led by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), hospitals across Delhi participated in a high-intensity mock drill to assess their preparedness for large-scale emergencies and emerging threats. Sirens blared, stretchers crowded hospital entrances, and instructions echoed over loudspeakers, creating an atmosphere of urgency as the capital joined the countrywide exercise.
