Phagsoo Village,(Doda District), JAMMU & KASHMIR :
A resident of a remote village in Doda district has voluntarily donated one kanal of land for the construction of a First Aid Centre, underscoring a civic gesture that cuts across religious identity in a region with limited healthcare access.
A Muslim resident of Phagsoo village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district has donated one kanal of his land to the government for the construction of a First Aid Centre, an initiative aimed at improving basic healthcare services in the hilly and remote area.
According to official records, Rafi Ahmed of Phagsoo has transferred land measuring one kanal (20 marlas) to the Revenue Department for use by the Health Department. The land, recorded under Khasra number 566, will be utilised for establishing a First Aid Centre to cater to Phagsoo and neighbouring villages, where residents currently have to travel long distances for even primary medical assistance.
In an affidavit submitted to the authorities, the donor has stated that the land has been given voluntarily, without any pressure or inducement, and that he will not seek compensation, employment, or any other benefit from the government. The document also records that ownership and possession of the land will vest permanently with the Health Department and that no objections will be raised during construction or future use of the facility.
Local officials confirmed that the affidavit has been executed for official processing of the land transfer and that the proposal will be taken forward in accordance with established procedures.
Rural healthcare infrastructure remains uneven across parts of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in mountainous districts of Chenab Valley. The donation has been welcomed by residents, who have long sought a nearby facility for emergency and first-response medical care.
Once approved and constructed, the First Aid Centre is expected to ease access to essential health services for the local population, regardless of religious or social identity.
