The Indian Army has launched the Border Brew Cafe in Arunachal Pradesh’s Zemithang village as part of ‘Operation Sadbhavna’. This initiative aims to support community development and sustainable tourism in remote border areas. The cafe, built on a decommissioned Bailey Bridge over the Nyamjang Chu river, integrates heritage infrastructure with modern amenities, a first in the Northeast region.
The Border Brew Cafe is expected to become a popular spot for tourists exploring the picturesque frontier region. It is designed to create sustainable job opportunities for the local community while boosting tourism in the area. The project, completed in just 31 days by the Indian Army, showcases local culture and traditions, offering economic benefits to residents.
‘Operation Sadbhavna’ focuses on building goodwill, strengthening civil-military relations, and enhancing the socio-economic status of border communities. The inauguration ceremony of the cafe witnessed active participation from local residents, dignitaries, and Army personnel, signifying a significant milestone for Zemithang and the surrounding region. This initiative aligns with the broader goals of promoting national integration and countering alienation through various developmental activities.
