Supreme Court Reviews Army Objections to Hospital Near Assam Border Camp

The Indian Army has raised concerns over a proposed multi-speciality hospital near its camp at the sensitive Indo-Bangladesh border in Jorhat, Assam, citing risks from drone surveillance and long-range sniper rifles. While not opposing the hospital's construction outright, the Army demands security measures including a 15-foot concrete boundary wall and no windows facing the camp. The Supreme Court, hearing the matter, urged all parties to find a balanced solution within two weeks, weighing public health needs against national security.
