Symani Village, the border of Kashmir with the help of the army

New -Delhi, April 13 (IANS). Siri, the border town in the inaccessible carnah valley of Kashmir, is still identified with her inaccessibility and darkness. With the help of the army there was a big change here. Here, the army not only relieved all the houses with solar energy, but also changed lives. This town also has a special place in the democracy of the country. The country’s first polling station (stand 1) is here. It is a witness to the fact that Indian democracy also reaches the end of its borders. It is striking that half of this town bordering Pakistan is clearly visible from the neighboring country. Until now, darkness has been a normal situation here. People depended on kerosine and wood due to the irregular supply of electricity. The children studied in vague lights earlier and the work stopped as soon as the sun set. In the plea of ​​the residents, the Chinar Corps of the Indian Army, together with the Asim Foundation in Pune under the ‘Operation Sadbhavna’, prepared a solution that not only relieved the houses but also changed the lives. According to the army, this town is now divided into four solar groups, where advanced solar panels, converters and battery banks are installed, ensuring 24 -hour power. Now all have 53 houses in the town of LED lights. A total of 347 people live here for which limits are installed to protect safe power points and overload. The new LPG connection and double burner stove eliminated the dependence on wood stoves. This has led to a decrease in smoking diseases and protects the environment of the valley. Not only that, the Engineers of the Asema Foundation have taught the maintenance of this system to the local youth, so that this town will remain self-sufficient for a long time. The military says the project is dedicated to Colonel Santosh Mahadik, who receives the Shaurya Chakra (posthumous). Colonel Mahadik sacrificed his life on November 17, 2015 while fighting terrorists in the Cupwara district. He is still respected today for his love and fearless leadership towards the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The mother of the late officer, Indira Mahadik, will set up this solar network in collaboration with Indira Mahadik, commander of Tangdhar Brigade and Kupwara Deputy Commissioner. For the army and the government, this town became not only a settlement, but a hope of hope. Colonel Mahadik’s legacy is alive in every sparkling room, every safe food and every mood. This light that will never extinguish now. -Ians GCB/Aquested Share This Story Tags
