The Indian Army has raised security concerns regarding a proposed multi-speciality hospital in Jorhat, Assam, due to its proximity to a military camp near the Indo-Bangladesh border. The Army fears threats from drone incursions and sniper rifles, prompting objections to the hospital's construction.

They submitted conditions to the Supreme Court, including a 15-foot concrete wall and no windows facing the camp. The Supreme Court is deliberating on the matter, balancing public welfare with national security.

The hospital aims to serve local healthcare needs, but its location has sparked legal disputes over security protocols. Meanwhile, PM Modi is set to visit Assam for infrastructure projects and cultural engagements, emphasizing the region's political importance ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
