TUTING- The Indian Army under the Spearhead Gunners formation conducted the maiden Indian Army IW Event Health Outreach programme on May 13 at Singa Village under the banner “Seema Arogya Abhiyan – Healing at the Last Mile.”
The initiative was aimed at extending healthcare and medical awareness services to one of the remotest frontier regions of Arunachal Pradesh, where access to basic medical and civic facilities remains limited beyond Tuting.
