India to send 850 peacekeepers to Congo
WSN Network

NEW DELHI: India is sending a fresh contingent of 850 military personnel to Congo to bolster its UN peacekeeping troops presence in that country to over 4,666 personnel.  

A battalion of the 6th Sikh Light Infantry would leave here on September 16 to take up peacekeeping responsibility in the Southern Katanga region of the strife-torn country.  

The Sikh troops, who would replace those of the Rajputana Rifles, were given a farewell by the Deputy Chief of the Army Staff, Lt Gen Susheel Gupta on Sunday.
