20 Assam Rifles of 26 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) organised a lecture on “Insurgency and its Impact on Development” at Lamkang Khunou Village on 17 Oct 2015. Officer and troops of 20 Assam Rifles interacted with the villagers and brought out the ills of insurgency. The lecture emphasized in simple terms to make them understand that all development activities in all spheres of life have been hampered due to active insurgency in North – East. Over the years the Assam Rifles and Army has expanded the scope of Military Civic Action. It has moved beyond initiatives to achieve the aim of improving the quality of life in villages by creating basic infrastructure like provision of WSS, primary health centers, primary schools and improving roads and tracks. The chief and chairman of the village alongwith others villagers expressed their gratitude and thankfulness to the Assam Rifles for conducting such an informative lecture.
