Srinagar : Five-day medical camps organised by the Pritam Spiritual Foundation (PSF) in collaboration with the Indian Army’s Chinar Corps provided assistive support to differently-abled people in Uri and Zangli Garrison, Kupwara, from October 12 to 22.
According to a Ministry of Defence statement, 14 artificial limbs were fitted, 250 hearing-impaired beneficiaries received assistance, and 258 assistive devices and appliances were distributed free of cost to beneficiaries from Kupwara and adjoining areas.
