Kiren Rijiju Lauds 'Josh' of Naga Women's Battalion

Guwahati, August 28, 2019:

"How's the josh?"

Quite high, it seems.

A video which shows the strength and resilience of a Naga women's battalion has been doing the rounds on social media, and it now appears to have caught the attention of Union Minister Kiren Rijiju as well.

In the video, the Naga army woman can be seen lifting an SUV out of a ditch. They seem to be high in spirits as they lift the gigantic vehicle out of the ditch. They can be seen laughing and joking about afterwards. Appreciating their strength, Kiren Rijiju wrote on social media, "Look at the strength of Naga women Battalion lifting a vehicle from the side drain. I appreciate their JOSH & Power. But ask the drivers to be more careful."

Reacting to this video, some social media users brought attention to the poor condition of roads in some parts of the Northeast. One user wrote, "Sir we need good roads in NE as most of the accidents specially during rainy season could have been avoided had the roads are better. We do appreciate their efforts", while another said, "Yes Sir....they are in jolly go lifting spirits. But the road conditions too are very pathetic even if it might have been driver's fault.
