Imphal, August 19 2023:
In a commendable demonstration of humanitarian commitment, the repatriation of 212 individuals including 86 males, 89 females, and 37 children following their unfortunate displacement during ethnic violence on the night of May 3 has been achieved.
According to PRO IGAR (S), effective communication and assurance of security paved the way for a meticulously planned and executed operation, transporting them from Tamu to Moreh in an Assam Rifles relief camp.
The achievement marks a significant milestone, with over 400 individuals repatriated from Myanmar since the onset of the ethnic clashes, the PRO added.
On the other hand, Assam Rifles organised an interaction programme with local leaders of Laibi village in Tengnoupal district on Friday with an aim to strengthen community relations and fostering mutual understanding and cooperation, the PRO informed.
Meanwhile, considering the geographic isolation and the associated challenges faced by Kwatha's residents in accessing vital supplies, a collaborated effort by Assam Rifles with Khongjom Rural Development Volunteers' Association (KRDVA) successfully orchestrated the delivery of essential commodities, the PRO added.
