GUWAHATI: In the remote village of Lower Langpih, nestled along the Assam-Meghalaya border, a unique chapter in history is being written by a dedicated group of divyangs (specially-abled individuals).

Despite facing the challenges of the difficult terrain and economic hardships, these divyangs are contributing significantly to the construction of the much-anticipated Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

The divyangs of this village have taken the lead in donating high-quality bijli (Murali) bamboo, the saplings of which they planted themselves.

These bamboo logs will be used to build barricades and set up camps in Ayodhya for the inauguration of the Ram Temple on January 22.

The central committee of Sodou Asom Divyang Bahumukhi Unnayan Santha, told a national daily that despite facing harsh economic conditions in the hilly terrain, with limited income sources, the divyangs are sending 7,500 logs of 9ft long bijli bamboo to Ayodhya, without any charges,

“Bijli bamboo is traditionally used for fencing and construction purposes in Assam due to its durability and strength,” a spokesperson was quoted by the daily as saying.

Lower Langpih, situated about 35km from the national highway, has a population of 15,000, including 200 divyangs.

This area, known for its challenging topography, has witnessed past conflicts among local communities and is a border disputed zone claimed by both Assam and Meghalaya for decades.

The Langpih committee of the association actively participated in crafting bamboo poles from the raw bamboo grown by them, as well as contributions from local tribal families, including the Nepali, Rabha, and Garo communities.

Lower Langpih falls under the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council (RHAC), where tribals have long been advocating for more autonomy in self-rule.

Despite the region’s abundant natural resources like bamboo, the economic conditions of several villages, including Lower Langpih, remain challenging.

As these divyangs make a significant contribution to the construction of the Ram Temple, their efforts resonate not only with their devotion but also with the spirit of unity and dedication that transcends geographical and social boundaries.
