Various other stalls, including a stall on HDFC Life Insurance & HP Gas Agency was also on display for the benefit of the locals.The Army, as per its spokesman, has been regularly organising medical camps in the Baramulla District.  The general populace in these areas is greatly benefited by these camps as there is a lack of medical facilities in these areas.  These camps also help in establishment of a rapport between the AWAAM & JAWAN.
