Momang, a four year old boy from Phoilen village, Chandel dist had got a cut in his left heel and was brought unconscious to unit hospital of Sehlon Battalion of 28 Sector Assam Rifles on 25 August 2019. The nearest primary health center is 90 kms away at Chakpikarong in Chandel district and with the state of road being deplorable and no vehicles plying in the hilly region, the evacuation of the child would have amounted to a treacherous task. However, the presence of Assam Rifles in this remote location helped treat the child in record time. The medical team of the Battalion under IGAR(S) treated the boy by administering 3 stitches on his left heel. Parents of the four year old child appreciated the selfless efforts of Sehlon Battalion in saving his son’s life.
