Doda, May 9,2026- In a significant move to strengthen emergency healthcare services in the hilly district, Deputy Commissioner Doda, Krishan Lal flagged off two ambulances under a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative aimed at improving medical response in remote areas.
The ambulances have been donated by Jammu & Kashmir Power Development Corporation Limited and Steel Authority of India Limited to enhance emergency healthcare access in Doda and Bhalla regions.
