PRESS RELEASE – MOBILITY AID DISTRIBUTION CAMP

As part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, on the occasion of India’s 73rd Republic Day, Defence Wing, Embassy of India organised a Mobility Aid Distribution Camp organised at Dharan under the aegis of PPO, Dharan for Bhu Puus of Indian Army & Assam Rifles. This camp is one of the many endeavours being undertaken by Defence Wing for the welfare of our Bhu Puus.

In this camp, 32 Divyangjan Bhu Puus & their family members were provided with Wheelchairs & Walking Aids. Bhu Puus & their family members who are suffering from age-related disability/infirmity and other health problems were proactively identified during pension documentation camps & rallies. Department of Orthopaedics, BPKIHS Dharan assisted in conducting the health checkup. The mobility aid will restore near normalcy in their bodily functions and empower them to connect with the mainstream society.
