Changlang, Nov 11: Assam Rifles distributed solar lights to representatives of Longsang, Changlang and Hedman villages in Arunachal Pradesh on November 9 under its Civic Action Programme, aimed at improving basic amenities and supporting communities in remote areas.

The initiative seeks to address lighting-related challenges faced by residents of far-flung villages, particularly in areas with limited access to reliable electricity. The distribution of solar lights is expected to improve illumination in residential and community spaces, enhance safety and provide greater convenience to local residents.
The use of solar-powered lighting will also encourage clean and sustainable energy solutions, helping communities reduce their dependence on conventional electricity sources.
The programme reflects Assam Rifles' continued commitment to community welfare and development in remote border areas. By extending essential support to underserved villages, the force aims to improve living conditions while promoting sustainable development.
The initiative also seeks to strengthen mutual trust, cooperation and the longstanding relationship between Assam Rifles and the local population.
Through such civic action activities, Assam Rifles continues to contribute towards community development, youth empowerment and improved quality of life in remote regions of the Northeast.
