Continuing its efforts to provide solace to the rural populace, Maj Gen AK Malik GOC Crossed Swords Division today dedicated the state-of-the-art lighting scheme to the inhabitants of the border village Panjtut near Pallanwalla.
The project, comprising independent solar powered street lighting systems with best alternative energy technologies has been installed on the central village road which will greatly enhance the security, safety and living standard of the village populace.
