ASSAM RIFLES ORGANISES AYUSH CAMP IN INDO MYANMAR BORDER

Guwahati, November 4, 2018:

With invaluable support from the Dept of AYUSH, a maiden AYUSH camp was organised on Saturday in the border village of Behiang for the benefit of the people of the neighbouring villages and the villages across the Indo Myanmar border.

The camp was inaugurated by the Minister of Health and Family Welfare, L Jayantakumar Singh in the presence of Ginsuanhau Zou, MLA 60 Singhat A/C & Chairman MANIREDA and the Director of AYUSH, Dr A Guneshwor Sharma.

Commander 27 Sector Assam Rifles hosted the AYUSH camp at Behiang for the first time and the dignitaries awarded scholarships to orphans, children with special needs and presented sports items to various youth clubs and village authorities.

Since the village lies at a distance of 1 km from border, some of the locals suffer from various ailments that have been aggravated due to lack of access to proper medical care. Therefore, the camp was organized with an aim to provide an opportunity to the villagers to explore alternate methods of treatment like homeopathy, Ayurveda and distribute free medicines to the people.

During the camp, around 305 people of neighbouring villages and even people from across the border were provided free medical treatment. Due to this noble initiative by Singhat Battalion, the locals are getting the unique opportunity to avail the benefits of alternative medicine. They have expressed their gratitude to the Assam Rifles Singhat Battalion for this unique endeavour which has made a positive impact to the lives of the people from the neighbouring villages and even from across the border.
