Arunachal Pradesh witnessed a powerful testament to military brotherhood as the Assam Rifles and Indian Coast Guard’s collaborative bike expedition ‘Samudra Se Parvat Tak’ reached its finale at the legendary Pangsau Pass this Monday. Officials confirmed the successful wrap-up of this unique outreach initiative.
According to defense spokesperson Lt Col Mahendra Rawat, the rally’s concluding phase highlights the fluid integration of sea and mountain forces, embodying India’s national determination. Perched dramatically on the India-Myanmar frontier in the Patkai ranges at an elevation of 3,727 feet, the pass has long symbolized resilience and strategic importance.
On the last day, riders advanced from Jairampur to Nampong Higher Secondary School, where they connected with eager students and community members. impassioned addresses instilled values of discipline and patriotism, complemented by screening of compelling documentaries on the mandates and dedications of the participating forces.
The event’s send-off at Pangsau Pass was led by Assam Rifles’ DIG, complete with a rousing pipe band show, token presentations, and cross-border dialogues that included Myanmar nationals. Such interactions not only strengthened interpersonal relations but also amplified harmony along the sensitive border.
Rawat noted the rally as a robust platform for service synergy, empowering youth, and frontier diplomacy, knitting the fabric of unity across diverse landscapes. In related news, the Army rolled out ‘Mission Krishiveer’ in eastern Arunachal’s Siang district, a Spear Corps-led effort with Army Service Corps at Sigar station to empower local agriculture-military linkages.
