Hope they include local youth in employment opportunities. Many talented youngsters in Northeast need proper guidance and opportunities. Army can play big role in this.

While the initiative is good, I hope this isn't just another paperwork exercise. The real test will be how effectively these coordination mechanisms work during actual emergencies. The proof will be in implementation.

Including disaster management training is crucial given the frequent floods in Assam. Army-NDRF coordination can save many lives during natural calamities. Good thinking!

The focus on narcotics control is much needed. Northeast borders are vulnerable and proper coordination between agencies can help curb drug trafficking effectively. 👏
