“The RWAC gave its services in many places in India during the political disturbances at the time of the division of British India. In Calcutta, during 1946-47, I was involved in emergency operations, such as treating riot casualties, rescuing and sheltering displaced persons, providing ambulance services to sick and pregnant women, distributing milk and food during curfews, and giving cholera inoculations and smallpox vaccinations.” ~ Basu PK. “An ophthalmologist’s journey along uncharted paths.” Indian J Ophthalmol 1995;43:89-94.
