OUR CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief (AOC) of the Shillong-based Eastern Air Command, Air Marshal Surat Singh, called on Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (Retd) K T Parnaik at Raj Bhavan on Monday and held discussions on key strategic and developmental issues.

According to an official statement issued on Tuesday, the two dignitaries deliberated on matters related to national security, regional defence preparedness, and effective disaster management, particularly in light of Arunachal Pradesh’s difficult terrain and increased vulnerability during the monsoon season.

Commending the Indian Armed Forces for their inspiring presence across the frontier state, Parnaik urged the Air Marshal to intensify engagement with local youth, especially those living near Advance Landing Grounds (ALGs), to motivate them to pursue careers in the Armed Forces.

He emphasized that such outreach initiatives could foster a sense of pride, discipline, and patriotism among the younger generation.

In response, Air Marshal Singh assured the Governor of the Indian Air Force’s unwavering commitment to the safety, development, and well-being of the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
