ITANAGAR: As part of border area development efforts, the Indian Army has constructed a double-storey homestay at the remote border village of Taksing in the Upper Subansiri district of Arunachal Pradesh, aimed at generating sustainable livelihoods and promoting border tourism.
The initiative was undertaken under Operation Sadbhavna and dedicated to the local community as part of the Vibrant Village programme, Defence spokesperson Lt Col Mahendra Rawat informed in a statement on Monday.
The project was executed by the Spearhead Division of Spear Corps to strengthen community welfare and improve tourism infrastructure in this strategically important border region.
