Imphal, January 14, 2012:
Officials and troops of 69 Bn CRPF today celebratedthe auspicious Makara Sankranti (Pongal) by organising Langar (food distribution) service at its Mantripukhri headquarters.
Apart from large number of civilians, about 50 children and staff of Mother Teresa Home, Imphal were invited by the CRPF unit to partake the service.
As most of the children were infants and were unable to take food on their own, officers, SOs and men of the unit came out and did spoon feeding to the children.
While the humane gesture evoked appreciation from the civilian participants, Officiating Commandant of 69 Bn CRPF Helal Firoz expressed desire to organise such type of programme in future also.
