Imphal, April 28 2019 2019:
Troops of Moreh Battalion of Assam Rifles managed to reunite two brothers with their family today.
In a statement, PRO of Assam Rifles said that Luntin Hao and Tinngaiching, were found roaming around Indo-Myanmar Friendship Bridge early morning.
The siblings, aged 3 years and 5 years respectively, had lost their way from Haolenphai village after they went out for playing and ended up 3.5 kms away from their village, leaving the villagers, specially their grandfather, a worried lot.
Luckily, troops of Moreh Battalion deployed at Indo-Myanmar Friendship Bridge found them at around 7.45 am.
Sensing something wrong, the Assam Rifles troops approached the kids and inquired about their wellbeing, place of residence and their parents.
Both the kids, being too small, could not convey anything meaningful to the troops.
Meanwhile the grandfather of the kids, Jamkhopao, after realizing that the kids were missing, had raised an alarm in Haolenphai village.
The villagers, started their own search in the village, but to no avail.
The parents of the kids, attending the Sunday prayers in the Church were completely unaware of the incident.
Without wasting any time, the AR troops, part of 26 Sector Assam Rifles under IGAR (South), contacted the locals and two persons identified the kids from Haolenphai village.
The kids were provided breakfast by Assam Rifles and the Company Commander, along with his troops, took the kids to Haolenphai to reunite them with their family, added the PRO.
The kids immediately identified their grandfather.
After verifying that the kids were safe with their family, both the kids were handed over to their grandfather.
