Imphal: Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to humanitarian assistance and public welfare, Assam Rifles provided critical and timely medical care to civilians facing acute health emergencies in remote areas of Manipur during challenging regional circumstances.
On 27 May 2026, the medical team at the Unit Hospital in Keithelmanbi, Imphal West District, promptly attended to a 67-year-old resident of Haibung who arrived with severe abdominal pain and distension. Through swift clinical examination and immediate treatment, the healthcare staff stabilised the patient and provided essential symptomatic relief. Continuing this vital supportive thread on 29 May 2026, the Assam Rifles Unit Hospital at Joupi Village in the Khengjoi Sub-Division of Chandel District textually mirrored this professional excellence. Medical staff responded at midnight to treat a 12-year-old boy from New Songyang village who sustained head and heel burn injuries from an electrical short circuit inside his school hostel. The team dressed his wounds, monitored his ECG and administered a Tetanus injection before safely referring him to a higher centre for advanced management.
These seamless interventions underscore the unwavering dedication of Assam Rifles to reinforcing trust and providing critical care, particularly in vulnerable border areas lacking basic healthcare access. Deeply appreciative of the swift responses that eased suffering and averted major complications, local villagers, school authorities and family members expressed profound gratitude to the force for acting as a reliable pillar of support during critical times.
