Indian Army showcases strength and self-reliance along the LAC in North Sikkim

New Delhi: The Indian Army showcases its prowess in the Plateau Sub Sector along the Line of Actual Control in North Sikkim. Located across the Eastern Himalayas, it is one of the Highest and the Coldest battlefields in the Country. Armed with state-of-the-art equipment and superior technology, most of which is Atmanitbhar, Indian Army soldiers steadfastly guard the LAC. Besides braving all challenges and protecting the territorial integrity of India, the actions of the Indian Army go beyond defence and security, as it emerges as the largest contributor to improving the livelihood of the locals and preserving wildlife. Earlier, the Indian Army successfully concluded ARMEX-24, a high-altitude adventure expedition that stands as a testament to endurance, resilience, and operational excellence.

According to a release, the expedition, conducted over 28 days, including acclimatisation, took participants on a formidable journey from the dense jungles of North Bengal to the treacherous, snow-clad heights of Sikkim, covering a total of 146 kilometres.

The expedition was conducted from March 22 to April 14, 2025. Excluding the acclimatisation period, the team undertook 18 days of relentless movement across difficult terrain, navigating steep gradients, unpredictable weather, and rugged trails. A specially selected team of 20 military personnel—highly trained and mentally robust—volunteered for this mission. Their journey tested their physical endurance, mental resilience, and the power of coordinated teamwork in extreme conditions. (ANI)
