Jiribam: In a swift and commendable operation, an Assam Rifles column deployed for Internal Security duties successfully rescued a family stranded in Leisabithol village, Jiribam district, after receiving a distress call during their patrol return from BoroBekra.
The distress call came from a couple and their two children who had been trapped in Leisabithol after their house was burned down by unidentified miscreants a few days prior. Reacting promptly, the Assam Rifles team reached the village and evacuated the distressed family.
However, on their way back near Uchathol village, the Assam Rifles convoy was halted by a group of local women. Concerned about the identity of the evacuees, the women demanded details about the rescued individuals. To defuse the situation, Assam Rifles personnel contacted the local police officials. Upon their arrival, Jiribam police effectively managed the situation, ensuring calm and order.
In an effort to maintain trust and clear communication with the local community, Assam Rifles personnel assured the residents of their commitment to security and urged them to avoid miscommunication in the future. The evacuated family was safely transported to Bidyanagar Sports Stadium in Jiribam, where they were provided with necessary relief and support.
