Heartwarming to read about the felicitation of our bravehearts. The 'Know Your Army' display is a great idea, especially for the youth in the Northeast. We need more such events across all states to inspire the next generation.

Salute to all the veterans and Veer Naris. While such rallies are commendable, I hope the assistance with SPARSH and ECHS is seamless and continues beyond the event day. Sometimes the paperwork for our ex-servicemen gets stuck in red tape.

Over 1500 participants! That's a massive turnout. It shows how strong the veteran community is in Tripura. Proud of our armed forces, past and present. The civil-military connect is crucial for border states.

Good to see the Governor and senior officers attending. It gives the right message of respect from the top. Hope the medical services provided were of good quality. Our veterans often face health issues due to their service.
