Srinagar, Sep 26: Lieutenant Governor, Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha on Saturday lauded the Armed Forces Medical Services for successfully conducting a mega eye surgical camp under Operation Drishti at Tangdhar in Karnah, where 220 people underwent eye surgeries.
In a post on X, Sinha said restoring sight to 220 people in an underground operation theatre in a challenging border area was a remarkable achievement.
He said the medical team, led by Brigadier Sanjay Kumar Mishra, demonstrated the spirit of Operation Sadbhavana by taking advanced eye-care services to remote border areas.
The LG said the camp provided advanced eye surgeries, including phacoemulsification, retinal and glaucoma procedures, to residents of remote border hamlets.
He said such initiatives help ensure that people living in far-flung areas have access to specialised healthcare services.
