Manipur village awaits 'saviour' soldier
Times of India | TNN | Jun 25, 2012, 05.09AM IST
For villagers of Longdi Pabram, a hamlet in the remote Tamenglong district, Colonel DPK Pillay is a saviour of sorts. Not only saved the lives of two villagers, but has also launched development projects in the village. Pillay's humanitarian service has earned him a moniker of 'Pillay Pamei' among the locals. Pamei is the surname and a clan of the Zeliangrong community living in the village. They even wanted the Army officer to live in the village forever.
Prompted by Pillay's initiatives, the BRTF has started the groundwork to construct a new 28-km road connecting the village with Tamenglong district headquarters while two projects - bamboo and horticulture missions - have already been started there. A truck was also presented to the village having a population of 800 by Union home secretary G K Pillai when he was the joint secretary.
