Indian Army personnel marked New Year's Eve by donating blood at a camp in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, demonstrating their commitment to public welfare. Concurrently, troops continue to conduct rigorous security operations in challenging terrains, ensuring peace and safety in the region amid harsh winter conditions.

On New Year's Eve, soldiers of the Indian Army's RR10 Regiment showcased their dedication to public welfare by donating blood at a camp in Doda district, Jammu and Kashmir. The event highlighted the Army's ongoing commitment to community service and was attended by a large number of Army personnel who volunteered for this noble cause.

Lt Col Spray Chinakhan emphasized the importance of the initiative, reiterating the Army's dedication to putting the nation's interests first. 'By organizing this blood donation camp, we aim to assist those in need and set a humanitarian precedent for the New Year,' he said.

Dr. Abdul Gafoor, the Block Medical Officer, praised the Army's efforts, encouraging civil society to follow suit in donating blood to save more lives. The local authorities and residents lauded the Army's community service even as it balances its operational duties.

Meanwhile, to ensure peace in the region, Army troops are conducting continuous security operations in Doda's challenging terrains, navigating frozen forests and hidden mountain caves. These measures are part of the Army's efforts to root out potential threats in the harsh winter conditions.
