KANGPOKPI: In a continued effort to foster community growth and strengthen the bond between security forces and the public, the B Company of 94 Battalion CRPF conducted a mega Civic Action Programme (CAP) today at the Damdei Village Community Hall ground in Kangpokpi district, Manipur.
During the event, a wide array of essential items, including sports materials, school bags, garbage bins, and agricultural seeds and fertilizers, were distributed to the residents of Damdei, Laikot, and surrounding villages. This event marked the third successful initiative in a series of outreach programmes by the 94 Bn CRPF, following previous events at Saparmeina and Khejang. Senior officials confirmed that two additional programmes are scheduled for other locations within the Kangpokpi district in the near future.
Humanitarian Gesture and Skill Development
Adding a noble dimension to the day’s events, B/94 CRPF personnel went above and beyond their mandate to assist a local physically challenged woman facing severe hardship. Through a collective self-contribution, the personnel provided her with a comprehensive kit of daily rations. This spontaneous act of kindness reflects the high moral values and the “Service Before Self” ethos of the unit.
