The Magnificent Force At The Kartavya Path: The Assam Rifles

The Force that binds the North East is a local folklore often said in the remote corners of the North East for the Assam Rifles, signifying the faith of the people in the Force that has stood tall against all challenges, whether it was the World Wars, Chinese aggression of 1962, insurgency in North East or disasters due to natural calamities. On the Republic Day the smartly attired soldiers of the Force will be watched fondly by their Friends in the North East with whom their relationship is everlasting. Their every step will be greeted with joy and pride not only on the Kartavya Path but in all corners of the North East. From the Tirap District in Arunachal Pradesh to Lunglei in Mizoram. From the historic and iconic location of Vijaynagar in the East to the Brahamaputra plains on the West, the chant of Assam Rifles will echo. The contingent will also be watched from our Northern Borders of J&K where Assam Rifles has been fostering a new bond since 2020 with the locals. Very recently Assam Rifles rescued more than 172 civilians at the Zozila Tunnel site who were trapped due to an avalanche. The Force is carving a new niche for itself in J&K both in operations and also winning the hearts and minds of the people. In an earlier stint, 7 Assam Rifles in 1991 eliminated 72 insurgents in one night, induced surrender of 13 others and recovered a large cache of War Like stores at Dudhi and this memory still stays fresh in the minds of citizens of the Country. The value of the Force is felt overseas as well and has resulted in their deployment overseas in Sri Lanka during Op Pawan and United Nation missions at Haiti, Golan Heights, Congo and recently at Abyei.

The marching contingent at the Kartavya Path on 26^th Jan not only signifies the confidence of the men and women, young in age but also the socio economic changes in the North East. It adds to the belief that the Government of India Act East Policy is actually progressing well. ‘The Sentinels of the North East’, the Assam Rifles march on the Republic Day will not only be on the Kartavya Path but also into the hearts of citizen of the Country.
