Conjoined twins Sohna and Mohna have landed their first jobs as electricians, the Independent reports.

The 19-year-olds, who are from India’s Punjab state, were abandoned by their parents as babies. They then lived at a children’s shelter.

The pair will now be working as electricians for the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited, where they will each earn a salary of Rs 10,000 per month.

Sohna and Mohna previously earned diplomas in electronics.

In a statement, they said: “We are thankful to the Punjab government for recognising our talent.”

Conjoined twins, Sohna and Mohna, bag a job in the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited. "We're very glad about the job & have joined on December 20. We thank the Punjab government and the Pingalwara institution, which schooled us, for the opportunity," they say.
