JAMMU, Jul 10: In a significant humanitarian initiative aimed at strengthening healthcare support for displaced Kashmiri migrants, the True Hope Foundation, in collaboration with the Lalitaditya Sports and Organisation Trust, donated a fully-equipped ambulance for the residents of Jagti Township and other migrant camps in Jammu.
The initiative was undertaken through the dedicated efforts of noted social activist Muktesh Yogi, who played a key role in facilitating the donation. The ambulance was formally dedicated to the migrant community during a well-attended public function.
Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioner, Jammu and Kashmir, Dr. Arvind Karwani, who was the chief guest on the occasion, handed over the ambulance to the displaced Kashmiri migrant community.
