The focus on HADR preparedness is so important. With climate change, natural disasters are increasing. It's reassuring to know our army is trained and ready to help civilians during crises. Well done!

Operation Sindoor... interesting. While I appreciate the operational readiness, I sometimes wish there was more transparency about what these operations actually entail for us common citizens. Just a thought.

The eco-tourism initiative in Arunachal is brilliant! Empowering local youth and promoting sustainable development in border areas is a fantastic dual-purpose project. More of this, please.

Soldier-citizen connect and veterans outreach are vital. Our jawans sacrifice so much. It's our duty to ensure they and their families are looked after, even after retirement. Jai Hind.

Logistics is the backbone of any army. Efficient ammunition management and supply depots might not sound glamorous, but they win wars. A very practical and necessary review by the Army Commander.
