Imphal, March 29:
After similar gestures for the people of Yairipok and Thoubal Kshetri Leikai the BSF today gifted a welfare centre to the women folk of Nongpok Sekmai by providing 10 sewing machines and a colour television set.
The centre constructed under the civic action programme of the sentinel of the borders was inaugurated by Commandant of BSF's 88 Bn Sham Kapoor.
Addressing the gathering the Commandant said the BSF presented the sewing machines to the women to help them in supplementing their earnings.
"BSF has further plans to extend not only material but moral and educational support as well to the women and other section of the society," Sham Kapoor asserted while reiterating BSF's commitment for providing a peaceful and secure atmosphere to the local population.
Visibly pleased with the BSF initiatives the Nongpok Sekmai citizens conveyed gratitude to authorities of the BSF.
