Two Indian conjoined twins have been granted their dream jobs as electricians 19 years after being abandoned at age two by their parents.
Mohna, 19 and Sohna Sing were employed by Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), to take care of electrical appliances within the company’s supply control room.
They are grateful to the chance that their parents gave them, having been raised at an orphanage in Punjab near Amritsar.
“It is a great job. “We are grateful to the Punjab government that recognized our talent,” Sohna, an electronic diploma holder, said to The Telegraph.
Mohna, 19 and Sohna Singh were employed by Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), to take care of electrical appliances within the supply control area.
The conjoined twins will get two salaries for the role, with each being paid 10,000 rupees (£99) a month.
Sohna, Mohna, have two hearts, two arms and kidneys. But they share one gall bladder, one liver, one pair of legs, one gall bladder, one spleen and one liver.
The twins were born at Sucheta Kriplani Hospital, New Delhi, in June 2003. However, doctors decided it was too dangerous to seperate the two. One could be fatal, while the other would suffer neurological and vascular losses in his lower limbs.
Sohna, Mohna, and their father left them when they were just two months old.
Medics contacted the Pingalwara Charitable Society, a home for destitute children, and the newborns were taken to their new homes on India’s Independence Day on August 15.

Teachers at the house discovered that the twins loved working with electric appliances.
A teacher told The Telegraph that the teachers would fix any problems with electricity or electronic appliances.
Mohna and Sohna followed their passions and earned a diploma for electrical studies.
Officials with the PSPCL stated that they saw the twins when they visited one of their training facilities.
“We chose them because they were technically competent and knew the job very well. According to Venu Parsad Chief Managing Direct PSPCL, the Telegraph, they decided to employ them in the disabled person’s quota.
Sohna said to The Hindustan Times “We will do everything we can to make a difference.
Mohna stated, “We are profoundly grateful to the Pingalwara Institution that has raised and educated us and helped in our becoming self-dependent.”
Inderjitkaur, the chairman of All India Pingalwara Charitable Society said, “It is a great pride for us all that Sohna–Mohna has joined the government service.
District Red Cross Society announced that they would pay the transportation costs of Sohna and Mohna to get them to work.
