Chief of Army Staff Visits Forward Areas in Central Sector, Reviews Operational Readiness and Community Initiatives
Chief of the Army Staff, General Upendra Dwivedi visited forward posts in the central sector to assess operational posture, motivate troops and strengthen civil - military linkages in strategically vital terrain.
During the visit, the COAS reviewed formations deployed in high-altitude areas of Pithoragarh and adjacent forward posts.

Interacting with personnel stationed in remote reaches, General Dwivedi praised their resilience, courage and steadfast devotion to duty under extreme climatic conditions and rough terrain. He reaffirmed the Indian Army's full preparedness to counter evolving security challenges, invoking the core ethos of "Service Before Self." The Chief also interacted with veterans and local communities, acknowledging their sacrifices and extending warm Diwali greetings to all ranks and their families.
Emphasising the strategic importance of the Kumaon region, especially as a gateway to border areas with Nepal and China, the COAS lauded local patriotism and resilience. He invoked the glorious legacy of the Kumaon Regiment and reviewed initiatives under Operation Sadbhavna and the Vibrant Village Programme, including tent-based homestays in Garbyang and Kalapani, road infrastructure, hybrid power systems, medical camps and agricultural support through polyhouses. He underscored that the Indian Army in Kumaon embodies "strength with compassion," defending frontiers while empowering border communities.
Concluding the tour, General Dwivedi reaffirmed the Indian Army's unwavering resolve to maintain operational excellence, enhance civil-military harmony and uphold the highest traditions of duty, honour and service to the nation.
