Chandel, February 29 2020:
Chandel Bn of 26 Sector AR under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) constructed a Living Centre and a toilet block at a orphanage, Hnatham village in Chandel district under the Operation Sadbhavana.
An inaugural ceremony was jointly organised by the Chandel Battalion and the Orphanage, where the centre was handed over to the children of the home, said PRO, IGAR.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by 70 people including children.
In addition, an electric water pump along with water pipeline were also installed to the water tank and a commercial RO system was installed earlier by the Battalion.
The project was initiated by the Assam Rifles after considering the living condition of the children during one of the medical camps organised by the Battalion last year.
It was found that the due to poor living condition and non availability of toilet, children were suffering from various diseases/infections.
The orphanage has been adopted by the Chandel Battalion in order to look after the children.
