The 28 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force has been deployed in a free medical camp in Srinagar. The campaign is run under the civic action program in the Batamaloo area of Srinagar. This development was an effort to reach out to the underprivileged sections of society. They want them to provide education on preventive health and address their primary health needs. 

The camp had basic facilities where people were given health checkups, administered medicines, provided medical guidance and medical kits free of cost. Speaking to the news agency, Jitendra Kumar, Commanding Officer said, "Today the 28 Battalion of the CRPF has organized a medical camp under the Civic Action Programme. We are deployed for security purposes but we also want that the health of the people here should be in good shape." He further mentioned that apart from our security aspects, they also take care that the people here get all medical assistance and health care. He said "We aim to reach out to people and work for their welfare. We want to convey this message to the people that the CRPF not only looks after their security but also their welfare aspects." In this camp, the team of doctors conducted the medical checkup of the people where that have checked blood pressure, pulse, etc and if there is any previous history of illness then they are also enquiring about the same.  A beneficiary said that such camps make the poor feel good and make them realize that in this difficult situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the administration and the government are with them.

Dr. Suneem, a Doctor at the camp, said, "The main aim of organizing this camp is to reach out to the underprivileged sections of the society." Farooq Ahmad, another beneficiary said, "They are distributing medicines free of cost to the poor people. The medicines they are providing free of cost are costly in other shops. Also, the medicines are authentic and of good quality. This a very good initiative for people like us."
