He expressed hope that the Army would continue to strengthen its operational capabilities and preparedness to effectively meet future challenges.
“The nation looks towards its armed forces with immense trust and pride,” the Governor said, adding that he was confident the Indian Army, under General Seth’s stewardship, would further enhance its operational readiness, safeguard the country’s territorial integrity and secure every inch of its borders.
