Imphal, November 21 2016:
The 28 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of Hqs IGAR (S) distributed over 400 solar lamps to villagers in the remote areas of Chandel district.
Commander of the 28 Sector AR visited Sehlon, Changjal, Tuitong, Old Samtal and Kovang villages on November 14 and 15 and distributed solar lamps to the villagers.
These solar lamps are sponsored by Eco Solutions.
In another endeavour, the 19 AR of 28 Sector AR under the aegis of Hqs IGAR (S) installed a Solar PV Wind Hybrid System at Old Samtal village of Chandel district.
The installation took place under the Border Area Development Program for the year 2016-17 and was handed over to the villagers in an inaugural ceremony held on November 6 .
This system was acquired from Solar Tech System (PA), Chandigarh which provides electricity by converting wind and solar energy.
In the absence of wind/sun, the battery backup acts as an inverter thus providing electricity.
