| Army restores water pipeline for Achinathang village | | | Early Times Report
UDHAMPUR, Sept 17: Achinathang village is located in the lap of the mountain range encompassing the Batalik region. The village is a popular picnic spot which lies midway between Khaltse and the famous Darchik village. There are picturesque outdoor camping as well as river rafting sites near the village.
However, the flash floods caused because of the cloud burst on 06 August 2010 destroyed the village completely forcing the villagers to live in tent ages and pray for more aid from the authorities. The villagers were confident that they would get over the crisis and started diligently in the restoration process but their hope was short-lived when they came to know that the water channel which was the lifeline for their crops had broken down.
The villagers approached the General Officer Commanding, Forever in Operations Division for assistance during his visit to the village to assess the damage caused. He immediately took on the responsibility to assist the villagers and initiated an innovative idea after visiting the site by utilising corrugated galvanised iron (CGI) sheets to provide a channel for directing the water to the village.
Villagers were overjoyed as; the task which seemed impossible was completed. Water which was a distant dream was available in plenty and the crops would survive. Villagers expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Army authorities for the restoration of water channel. Their efforts were not lost in vain. Their hearts swelled with pride when they reported the matter to their superiors.
