The twins have started working in the supply control room and will help the workers at the company take care of the appliances in the place.
“Sohna got the job and Mohna helps alongside," Ravinder Kumar, substation Jr Engineer, PSPCL told ANI. Kumar said the twins were taken up for the job because they also have some prior work experience in the area and also have a ITI diploma(electrical).
The twins were born in New Delhi on June 14, 2003 with two hearts, arms, kidneys and spinal cords, but a shared liver, gall bladder and legs. They were unfortunately abandoned by their birth parents. They were taken to AIIMS for further treatment where doctors decided not separate them because it could have been fatal for one of them while causing permanent neurological damage for the survivor. The twins were shifted to Pingalwara, a charitable society in Amritsar where they were named Sohna-Mohna.
