Reaffirming its commitment to community welfare and accessible healthcare, the Assam Rifles organised a Medical‑cum‑Dental Camp at Silachari in Gomati District, Tripura, on Friday. The initiative formed part of the force’s ongoing outreach programmes aimed at supporting the tribal population of the state.

The camp offered a range of essential services, including medical consultations, health screenings, and dental examinations, ensuring that basic healthcare reached residents who often struggle with limited access to facilities. Special emphasis was placed on preventive healthcare, personal hygiene, and oral health awareness, reflecting the force’s focus on long‑term well‑being rather than just immediate treatment.

Beyond medical services, the camp created an opportunity for Assam Rifles personnel to interact directly with the local community, listening to their concerns and strengthening bonds of trust. Organisers noted that such interactions help the force better understand the challenges faced by tribal populations and tailor future initiatives accordingly.

Local residents expressed gratitude for the effort, describing the camp as a vital step in bringing healthcare closer to their doorstep. Many highlighted that the initiative saved them from travelling long distances for basic medical and dental services.

Officials confirmed that similar outreach programmes will continue across Tripura, reinforcing Assam Rifles’ role not only as a security force but also as a partner in community development.
