This is not only in respect of eye, but also other diseases. Rajdeep Goala, MLA of Lakhipur, who graced the camp, expressed his happiness at the way doctors, nurses and other paramedical staff come all the way from Silchar and extend all help and cooperation to patients examined, besides offering them free medicines and also necessary pieces of advice.
