This is such a wonderful initiative! Our veterans deserve all the respect and support. The medical camp and resettlement assistance will be very helpful for retired soldiers in remote areas like Arunachal. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Heartwarming to see the Army honoring our bravehearts. But I wish similar rallies were organized more frequently across all border states, not just Arunachal. Our soldiers from J&K and Punjab also need this recognition.

The location choice is strategic - Tenga Valley is very close to China border. This sends a strong message to our neighbors while honoring veterans. Two birds with one stone! Our Army is always thinking ahead.

The mention of cultural programs by students brought tears to my eyes. We must teach our children to respect our armed forces from young age. My salute to all veterans and their families 🙏

While this is commendable, I hope the pension and healthcare assistance isn't just for show. Many veterans face endless paperwork and delays in actual benefits. The Army should ensure follow-up after the rally too.

The Kargil tribute mentioned at the end shows how our Army remembers every sacrifice. Captain Thapar's story still gives me goosebumps. More such stories should be shared in schools and colleges to inspire youth.
