In the early hours on 10 Nov 2017, the house of Mr. Meher Din, a local resident of Kalgai village in Uri, caught fire due to a suspected short circuit. Army soldiers from the nearby Kalgai Camp immediately rushed to help and evacuated the family to safety. However, the blaze was so furious that despite the best efforts, it gutted the complete house and the household items. The Army provided the bereaved family with food items, bedding and construction material as well as cash relief. The victims expressed their gratitude and appreciation for this kind gesture by the Army
