Inaugurated in Laipuli, Tinsukia, the exercise involves various stakeholders, including the Indian Air Force, police, intelligence agencies, and local media, promoting unified efforts in disaster management, healthcare, and infrastructure development. A corresponding exercise in Manipur is scheduled for later this month, reinforcing the importance of coordinated engagement between military and civil entities in addressing local issues comprehensively. This initiative exemplifies India’s commitment to a holistic approach to security and development in the northeastern region.
