Over 300 people, most of them slum-dwellers and from rural areas, availed free medical services at the camp organised in the Karsan area of Ram Darbar here today. The chairman of the organising committee, Major-Gen M.S. Kandal, said that the fifth free medical camp organised today was held in collaboration with the Lions Club Chandigarh Greater.
