Good to see proactive planning. The Northeast is a sensitive region and having a seamless response system is vital. Hope this also translates to better connectivity and development for the local people.

While the intent is good, I hope these exercises are followed by real action on the ground. Sometimes there's a big gap between planning in Guwahati and implementation in remote border areas. Fingers crossed.

Important exercise. The railway network is the lifeline of the region. Integrating it with defense logistics ensures quicker mobilization and supply during any crisis, natural or man-made. Well done.
