This humanitarian effort not only addressed immediate needs such as lighting, mobile charging and basic household requirements but also strengthened the bond of trust and goodwill between the Indian Army and the community.
A total of 250 persons from the Gujjar and Bakkarwal community and Village Defence Guards attended the event at Dugga, and 80 persons attended at Goha.
A total of 160 searchlights were distributed to the needy beneficiaries.
The communities expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Indian Army for extending timely assistance and for standing firmly by their side during moments of need.DD
