Local residents participated actively in the outreach, reflecting the demand for healthcare services in areas where medical infrastructure remains limited. Observers note that such camps often serve as interim support mechanisms, especially in remote border districts where access to specialised healthcare facilities can be challenging.
Officials from the Assam Rifles stated that the initiative aimed not only at addressing immediate medical concerns but also at fostering trust and cooperation between security forces and local communities. The battalion acknowledged the contributions of medical professionals, volunteers, and local residents who supported the smooth conduct of the programme.
