Tronglaobi village in Bishnupur district had long been facing a shortage of safe drinking water, forcing villagers to depend on water bowsers to meet their daily needs. Recognising the hardship faced by the residents, the Indian Army took prompt action to address the issue.
Under the aegis of the Red Shield Division of Spear Corps, the Indian Army dedicated a Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filtration and Storage Facility at Tronglaobi village on 10 March 2026 under Operation Sadbhavana, ensuring reliable access to safe drinking water for the local community.
The facility has been designed to provide a dependable source of clean drinking water. Equipped with a pumping capacity of 2,000 litres per hour and a filtration capacity of 500 litres per hour, the system can supply up to 12,000 litres of purified water daily. Adequate storage capacity has also been created to ensure uninterrupted availability of water.
The initiative is expected to benefit approximately 80–100 households, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) residing in and around Tronglaobi North and South. The availability of safe drinking water within the village will greatly ease the daily challenges faced by residents.
The initiative is also expected to improve hygiene and sanitation standards while strengthening civil–military cooperation and reinforcing the bond of trust between the Indian Army and the people of Manipur.
