Arunachal: Army, civil agencies forge plan to fast-track border development

OUR CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: The Indian Army’s Gajraj Corps, in coordination with the civil administration of East Kameng district in Arunachal Pradesh and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), on Monday convened a military-civil fusion conclave at Seppa, the district headquarters.

The conclave was organised to fast-track development, strengthen security, and enhance disaster preparedness in the strategically vital border district of the state, an official statement informed here.

Chaired under the aegis of the Himalayan Warrior Brigade, the high-level meeting brought together senior district officials, senior Army and ITBP commanders, departmental heads, elected representatives, and tribal leaders.

Building on the momentum of last month’s Bichom military-civil fusion conclave, the Seppa forum prioritised creation and upgradation of dual-use infrastructure, including helipads, logistics nodes, and road links to remote areas.

It also addressed vocational skill development, recruitment drives to encourage local youth to join the Armed Forces, and expansion of ITBP’s ‘Project Arunveer’, an initiative to source locally produced goods for security forces to boost the rural economy.
