‘Know your Amry’ in city

GUWAHATI, Jan 21: Nostalgia, colour and regalia marked the equipment and band display on January 20, 2017 as part of the “Know your Army”/ Republic Day celebrations at rangi Canteen in the city. On display were artillery and air defence guns, radars, bomb disposal equipment, protection suit for use during nuclear, biological or chemical attack, small arms and state-of-the-art weapon systems available with the combat units, a press release said. Children, teachers and civilians in large numbers visited the stalls where the equipment were displayed. The children were greatly fascited by the display of hardware and sophisticated systems. The Join the Army Information Centre established for the benefit of the youth was a great draw. It was very encouraging to see the enthusiasm in the new generation, particularly among girls who wanted to know about the career opportunities in the Armed Forces.
