Indian Army Conducts Khairiyat Patrol in Remote Banj Bhimdasa Village of Ramban to Provide Essential Healthcare and Civic Support

RAMBAN, AUGUST 07, 2026 — Reaffirming its unwavering commitment to the welfare of communities in difficult and isolated terrains, the Indian Army organized a comprehensive Khairiyat Patrol in the remote village of Banj Bhimdasa, located within the Gool Tehsil of Ramban district. Designed to bridge the accessibility gap in hard-to-reach rural pockets, the initiative saw army personnel directly engaging with local residents to assess their daily living conditions, listen to pressing civic concerns, and extend immediate humanitarian relief.

During the outreach drive, medical personnel set up health checkpoints to provide essential check-ups, basic diagnostic care, and vital medicines free of cost. The medical assistance prioritized vulnerable groups, particularly elderly individuals and patients unable to travel long distances to urban medical facilities due to difficult geography. Beyond medical relief, the interaction offered a vital platform for open dialogue between the local population and security forces, fostering mutual trust, confidence, and long-term goodwill. By continuously balancing security duties with compassionate community outreach, the military continues to embody the spirit of Awaam Ki Fauj (the People’s Army), ensuring essential care and support extend into the most remote corners of Jammu and Kashmir.
