An exceptional medical camp was organised for the ex-servicemen of the Wokha district at Ganga, near Wokha Town recently. The Medical camp was organized to commemorate the Raising of Assam Rifles on March 24 1835. The Medical camp was inaugurated by Col litton Dhar, Commandant 28 Assam Rifles. The Civil administration whole heartedly supported the event.
All necessary assistance was provided by Robin lotha, DC Wokha, Chunwenthun Khurung, SP Wokha, Thavaseelan K, SDO and Zuben lotha, PRO, Wokha. The event was highly appreciated by all the ex-servicemen and the people of Wokha District. The ESM were elated to witness the Civil administration, the local medical authorities, the State law and order agency and the Assam Rifles stand together shoulder to shoulder for a common and noble cause to recognise unconditional service provided by the Ex-servicemen in guarding the nation.
28 Assam Rifles, under the aegis of 5 Sector Assam Rifles not only provided medical assistance to the Ex-servicemen but also organised a ‘Grievances Cell’ to address their problems. CSD facilities, free refreshments, and vehicle for conveyance of old and aged was provided from Wokha Town to the Camp. An approximate of 91 Ex Servicemen, 34 ladies,12 children and one Veer Nari attended the camp. It was heartening to see separate attendants earmarked for the old and the disabled ex-servicemen. The event itself was an optimum definition of Assam Rifles indeed being called as is the “Friends of the North East”. The locals and civil administration thanked Comdt 28 AR and Brig MS Bains, SC, YSM, SM, DIG 5 Sect AR for organising the event.
