The Indian Army conducted a New Year outreach program in Arunachal Pradesh’s West Siang district to enhance civil-military relations. Engaging with the local community at Bene Village, the Army organized sports and community activities, fostering camaraderie and mutual respect. This initiative reflects the Army’s commitment to prioritizing people and strengthening ties in border areas.
Such interactions aim to build confidence, cooperation, and unity in strategically sensitive regions, emphasizing the Army’s “People First” philosophy. By celebrating the New Year with the villagers, the Army showcased its role as both protector of the nation’s frontiers and a supportive community partner. The West Siang district, rich in biodiversity and tribal heritage, enjoys a moderate and pleasant climate.
In a separate engagement, the Assam Rifles under the Spear Corps interacted with Village Council Chairmen and ‘Gaon Buras’ in Meluri and Avangkhu in Nagaland, emphasizing community relations. This collaborative effort underscores a shared commitment to peace and development, as highlighted by the Spear Corps of the Indian Army. Avangkhu, a key border village in Nagaland’s Phek district, holds strategic importance for connectivity along the India-Myanmar border.
