GANGTOK,: To improve the lives of people in the Indo-China border villages, the Indian Army’s 'Sadbhavna' scheme continues to make a significant impact. On December 24, the Indian Army took two major steps to support the residents of Thegu and Sherathang villages providing much-needed infrastructure and services in these remote regions.
One of the key initiatives was the provision of an ambulance to both villages aimed at enhancing medical emergency services. This will benefit the locals, who often face challenges in accessing timely healthcare due to the difficult terrain and distance from medical centers.
Moreover, the army installed a water tank in Sherathang village, ensuring a reliable water supply during the harsh winter months when the regular pipeline water often freezes. This will provide much-needed relief to the villagers, particularly during the peak of winter, ensuring that they have access to clean water.
The event, held at the Baba Mandir was attended by several prominent figures, including the General Officer Commanding (GOC), Major, Sherathang panchayat Tshering Yanzee Sherpa and Thegu panchayat Mingma Sherpa.
