On February 25, the Jairampur Battalion of Assam Rifles conducted a door-to-door medical outreach in the Longvi village of Changlang District, Arunachal Pradesh. This initiative was designed to provide essential healthcare services to local residents, particularly the elderly, who often struggle to access medical facilities. During the outreach, healthcare professionals visited more than 40 households and conducted medical examinations for over 120 individuals.

The services included monitoring of blood pressure and weight, health counseling, and the distribution of medicines for common ailments such as back pain, knee pain, and other routine health issues.

Commitment to Community Welfare and Civil-Military Relations

The Assam Rifles highlighted that this outreach effort underscores their commitment to community welfare and the strengthening of relationships between the military and local citizens. This initiative reflects their identity as “Friends of the North East People” and “Sentinels of the North East.” By engaging in direct interactions with the community, the Assam Rifles aims to enhance trust and cooperation with local populations, thereby contributing positively to civil-military ties in the region.

Showcasing Canine Training Excellence at Jorhat

Earlier in the week, the Assam Rifles highlighted the capabilities of their canine units during a visit from a high-level delegation of the Press Information Bureau to their Dog Training Centre in Jorhat, Assam. The delegation observed live demonstrations showcasing the canines’ talents in explosive detection, tracking, and agility. These demonstrations illustrated the precision and discipline inherent in the canine handlers and their partners, reinforcing the operational strengths of the Assam Rifles’ canine units.

Role of Canine Units in Security Operations

According to the Assam Rifles, the visit by PIB officials emphasized the critical function of canine units as a force multiplier in various operational areas, including counter-insurgency, border management, and internal security. Detailed briefings on the scientific selection and training processes for these canine warriors underscored the Center’s dedication to operational excellence and effectiveness in addressing security challenges. This collaborative approach highlights how the Assam Rifles are evolving to meet contemporary security needs while maintaining strong ties with the communities they serve.
