imari, a remote border hamlet along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, will now have a steady supply of electricity with a solar power project installed jointly by the Indian Army and a Pune-based foundation.
Perched high in Kashmir’s rugged Karnah Valley, Simari has long been defined by its isolation. The village, one half of which lies in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, holds deep strategic and democratic importance as India’s polling booth number 1.
“In a powerful example of inclusive development and national service, Simari, a border village in Karnah Valley, has been fully electrified and LPG-enabled through a joint initiative of the Indian Army’s Vajr Division and Aseem Foundation, under the aegis of Chinar Corps,” said a defence spokesperson.
