Kathua boy finds voice after eight years of silence, thanks to Army doctor
JAMMU, Aug 17 (PTI): After eight years of silence, eight-year-old Akshay Sharma from a village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district has finally found his voice, thanks to the efforts of an Army doctor.
Born with a cleft lip and palate, Akshay underwent a surgery at the age of three but was still unable to speak.
His parents, who work as civilian labourers with the Indian Army, could not afford further treatment and had almost given up hope of hearing their son speak.
