SRINAGAR: Prevailing
sociopolitical disturbances in Kashmir valley for last 20 years has
played a major role in increasing the number of computes to a staggering
figure. Lack of immunisation facilities for Polio in the past and
mutilating cold injuries have also contributed to physical challenges
amongst the natives. With the aim of alienating the physical dependence
and associated psycluatric of physically challenged individuals, joint
efforts were made by RMO, 14 RR (GARH RIF) and Bhagwan Mahavir Viglang
Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS) of Rajasthan to provide needy individuals with
artificial limb
supports.
Individuals
in batches of four were escorted to regional office of BMVSS in
Srinagar over a period of 15 days. There disabilities were assessed by
the experts and suitable limb supports satisfying orthopedic criteria’s
were provided free of cost to the poor and needy. The transportation
and refreshment of individuals were taken care of by the Battalion.
A
total of 13 individuals were provided with limb supports which included
7 artificial limbs, 5 crutches and one polio caliper. The quality of
limbs is such that a person can walk comfortably, ride a bicycle, run,
jump, dance and even climb a tree. The social philosophy of BMVSS is to
provide free supports to poor and initiative of Army in this regard was
highly appreciated. All the parents expressed true happiness,
gratitude and satisfaction and praised Army for helping disabled get
back on their feet and revolutionizing their lives.
