As someone who has visited Arunachal, the need for sustainable development that respects the fragile ecology and unique cultures is paramount. Glad to see this being discussed alongside security. Hope the recommendations are implemented.

Strong borders mean a strong nation. Seminars like these are important for long-term planning. We must stay ahead of adversarial strategies. Proud of our armed forces for their constant vigilance on our dynamic frontier.

Infrastructure augmentation is the key! Better roads, tunnels, and connectivity in Arunachal will not only help our defence forces but also bring prosperity to the local people. Development and security go hand in hand.

While the intent is good, I hope such seminars lead to concrete, on-ground action. We hear about "integrated policy frameworks" often, but the implementation gap remains. Let's see tangible improvements in the lives of people in the border villages.

The focus on preserving cultural heritage is commendable. Arunachal's diversity is India's strength. Security shouldn't come at the cost of local traditions. A balanced approach is what we need. Good initiative by Spear Corps.
