Master Burhan, a pupil at Dagger Parivaar School in Baramulla under the administration of the Indian Army’s Dagger Division and the Indrani Balan Foundation, was diagnosed with a critical cardiac condition.

Despite the complexities involved in medical procedures and associated expenses, the joint efforts ensured that Burhan received the necessary care without delay.
