SURANKOTE: A large population of Poonch district lives in far-flung and
remote villages and their main source of income are from their livestocks. Lack of basic veterinary facilities have
often led to loss of their livestocks thereby aggravating the problems of the
folks.
In order to overcome the difficulties
faced by the people, a Rashtriya Rifles Battalion made an endeavour to reach
out to the poor people in this remote area by conducting a week long veterinary
training camp at Kulali. The aim of the
camp was to generate awareness among youth about the various types of diseases
which livestocks are immune to and precautionary measures to be taken to
protect them from these diseases.
The training was conducted in a phased manner
where first theoretical lectures were given and thereafter practical training
was imparted. A total of 27 youths
attended the training. On termination of
training, prizes were also distributed to the outstanding participants. Participants showed keen interest in the
training camp and brought out their problems and their queries which were
answered by the Army veterinary doctor.
This initiative of Romeo Force of
conducting veterinary training was greatly appreciated by the local populace in
areas around Surankot Tehsil. Master Javed s/o Mohd Latif stated that he has gained a lot from
this veterinary training and can now confidently diagnose and take care of his
cows and goats.
