Itanagar, June 23 (UNI) General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Indian Army's 56 Infantry Division, Major General Vivek Bakshi called on Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt General (Retd)
KT Parnaik at the Raj Bhavan here on Monday.
They deliberated on the prevailing security scenario along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), civil-military cooperation, and welfare initiatives for ex-servicemen.
During the interaction, the Governor and the GOC discussed the strategic environment in border areas, joint disaster preparedness measures, and enhanced collaboration between the armed
forces and civil administration. They also reviewed the Army’s outreach and support programs
for ex-servicemen and Veer Naris across the State, a communique from the Raj Bhavan said.

As a strong advocate for ex-servicemen’s welfare, the Governor, who has been actively participating in ex-servicemen rallies across the State, suggested expanding job fairs, medical camps, and pension outreach initiatives, especially in remote districts.
The Governor also encouraged the Army to engage more actively with the youth of Arunachal Pradesh through motivational talks in schools and awareness programs about careers in the armed forces. He said that such initiatives would not only inspire patriotism and discipline but also open new pathways for youth, especially in remote and border areas.
Major General Bakshi assured the Governor of the Army’s continued support and close cooperation with the State Government to promote the shared goals of national security, inclusive development, and community welfare, the communiqué added.
