SRINAGAR: The situation in Valley remained bad due to constant snowfall,
disturbing the normal routine of the Awam and posing difficulties. The
Army continued to provide humanitarian assistance to the Awam inspite of
all odds braving the inclement weather.
Seeing the circumstances and
prevailing conditions, a requirement emerged to help the needy villagers
especially to meet basic facilities like medical assistance, provision
of water and emergency electricity power at Hospitals/PHC. General
Officer Commanding Victor Force ensured, the Army acted swiftly and
reached out to the locals to provide all possible assistance.
In this
period of heavy snow, the Army conducted plethora of
activities to assist the Awam by way of providing medical assistance,
supply of electricity by generators especially for charging of mobile
phones and functioning of PHCs, clearance of roads and tracks wherever
required, distribution of emergency rations to the needy, distribution
of water, provision of warm clothing, cooked food and recovery of large
number of stranded vehicles due to the snow.
This was possible by
sending out Army troops in the form of 610 patrols including Medical
Officers reaching a large number of villages in the entire Victor Force
Area of Responsibility. The Awam welcomed the soldiers and highly
appreciated the actions of the Army, which provided them with basic
necessities at this critical period. General Officer Commanding Victor
Force reiterated that the Jawan will always stand by the Awam in the
time of need.
