Itanagar: General Officer Commanding (GOC) of 2 Mountain Division Major General VS Deshpande, called on Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (Retd) K T Parnaik at Raj Bhawan here on Wednesday and discussed issues relating to the international border, Vibrant Village program and the Army’s execution of Sadbhava projects aimed at benefiting the local population.
The governor, who attended the ‘Walong Day’ commemoration recently in Anjaw district of the northeastern state, congratulated the GOC and his team on the successful celebration of the month-long event. He said that the programme promoted a sense of pride among the local communities to be part of the Sino-Indian War of 1962, a Raj Bhawan communique informed.
Parnaik commended the officers and troops of the 2 Mountain Division for their vigilance along the borders and their successful implementation of Sadbhavana projects for the well-being of the local population.
He suggested procuring perishable goods from the local community near the Army stations, which would enable the troops to get fresh vegetables and help the rural economy. The Governor had a threadbare discussion with the GOC about the Vibrant Border Village programme. He said that the programme would benefit both the armed forces and the local population in the border areas, the communique added.
