Who led the surgical team at the Tangdhar mega eye camp?
- A.Air Marshal Sandeep Thareja
- B.General Dhiraj Seth
- C.Brigadier Sanjay Kumar Mishra
- D.Manoj Sinha
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Brigadier Sanjay Kumar Mishra, Head of Ophthalmology at the Army Hospital (Research and Referral), Delhi Cantonment, whose team carried advanced phacoemulsification, vitreoretinal and glaucoma equipment across mountainous terrain to reach Tangdhar. Option A is wrong because Air Marshal Sandeep Thareja is the Director General of the Armed Forces Medical Services; he visited the camp and appreciated the surgeons and the local team, but did not lead the surgical team. Option B is wrong because General Dhiraj Seth is the Chief of the Army Staff, who visited the camp, interacted with patients and distributed medicines and gifts. Option D is wrong because Manoj Sinha is the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, who is to attend the closing ceremony of the next camp. Distinguishing these four roles is the whole point of the question.
