Parnaik (Retd) on Monday called for heightened vigilance and regular patrolling along the international border, stressing that robust security measures in sensitive frontier areas are vital to protecting the nation’s strategic and national interests.
A senior official said that General Officer Commanding (GOC) of 4 Corps, Lt Gen Neeraj Shukla, called on the Governor at Lok Bhavan, Itanagar. Both the Governor and the senior Army official held detailed discussions on the prevailing security situation along the international border, measures to strengthen border management, and the ongoing welfare and outreach initiatives undertaken by the Armed Forces for people living in remote frontier areas.
Lt Gen Parnaik (Retd) highlighted the need for seamless coordination between the Armed Forces and the civil administration, stressing that real-time information sharing and a synergised approach are essential for effective security management and a prompt response to emerging challenges.
The Governor commended the Armed Forces for their steadfast commitment to safeguarding the nation and for their constructive engagement with local communities through various Sadbhavana initiatives.
He observed that these outreach programmes, particularly in promoting Self Help Groups, coaching students for admission to Sainik Schools, and motivating youth to join the Armed Forces, have played a significant role in improving access to education, healthcare, and community welfare services in remote and border areas.
Such initiatives, he said, also foster mutual trust, goodwill, and a strong sense of national integration among the indigenous population.
