The Defence Ministry in a statement said that the Armed forces give the bets possible treatment to their personnel.
“It’s clarified that the said facility is part of the Crisis Expansion capacity of 100 beds and is part of the General Hospital complex,” explained the ministry.

There is no drip bottle, medicine, or water bottle beside the beds, there is a photographer in place of a doctor. But, all our soldiers are healthy and fine by God’s grace.”
