Jawans of the CRPF have lit up over 50 households in two villages of Jharkhand's Latehar district with LED bulbs, as part of community policing efforts, an official said.
The two villages -- Karamdih and Khamikhas -- is situated on the foothills of Maoist-hit Burapahar area bordering Chhattisgarh, CRPF Second-in-Commandant Ravi Ranjan said on Monday.
As there is no electricity in the villages, the jawans installed the LED lights in 53 households with the help of a generator, he said.
The 112 Battalion of the CRPF worked continuously for 48 hours from August 17 to light up the houses, where about 100 children are now able to study in the evenings, Ranjan said.
A medical camp was set up in the area, where around 250 people underwent checkups, he said, adding, school essentials were also distributed among students, as part of the community policing drive.
