Chandel, December 24 2019:
Sehlon Battalion of 28 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) operationalized the provision of 67 solarpanel electricity sets in the villages of Samtal Salient, Chandel district, thereby ensuring that 67 families get electricity in their households.
Villages of the Samtal Salient are situated in the isolated interiors of Chandel district, which have no proper electricity, road connectivity and basic amenities, said PRO, IGAR.
Seeing the actual ground conditions and the hardships which the villages are suffer- ing, the Sehlon Battalion envisaged the idea of liaising with Luminious India Pvt Ltd for the provision of solar panel electricity sets to make the villagers self-reliable in terms of electricity.
After continued awareness efforts and perseverance of officers of Sehlon Battalion, the distribution of 67 solar panel electricity sets along with invertors and batteries for each household in Samtal Salient was formalised yesterday.
The villagers expressed their heartfelt gratitude towards the Assam Rifles for enlightening their lives.
