The successful outcome of Burhan's surgery underscores the Indian Army's unwavering commitment to extending humanitarian aid and ensuring access to critical medical care for those in need. This heartening display of solidarity and support reaffirms the Indian Army's dedication to serving the community while upholding values of compassion and service.
