Imphal, July 22 2017:
Soldiers of 19 Assam Rifles of 28 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) reunited a youth who was recruited into UNLF, with his family .
According to a statement issued by the PRO of IGAR (S), in his early twenties, an unemployed youth of Ukhrul District was taken to an insurgent training camp in Myanmar for training .
Realising his mistake of joining an insurgent group, Somichan escaped from the training camp in Myanmar, crossed over to own side of the international border and landed himself to the Assam Rifles troops on July 20.Since his questioning did not reveal anything suspicious, special efforts were made to contact his family .
Unfortunately, Somichan's mother and father had expired earlier and he did not remember contact details of brother and sister, who are working in Delhi.
Ingeniously, the company commander made use of the social media platforms to contact his sister, based on details given by Somichan .
Almost choking with joy, an overwhelmed LK Ningmayung, his sister, passed on the details of his uncle and Village Chairman, while lauding the sincerity of the "Sentinels of the North East".
Consequently, the individual was reunited with his relatives today, it said.
