Churachandpur: In a heartfelt tribute to regimental legacy and enduring camaraderie, four newly commissioned young officers of the Assam Regiment of the Indian Army engaged in a Regimental Outreach with Ex-Servicemen and their families in Churachandpur district of Manipur on October 17, said an official.
The programme commenced with a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the HQ War Memorial, where tributes were paid to fallen comrades whose sacrifices continue to inspire generations.
Later, the Officers visited the homes of veterans who had served in the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars, as well as others residing in the district. These visits were marked by warm receptions, with the officers being greeted with traditional tribal shawls and local cuisine, gestures that reflected the cultural richness and hospitality of the region. The interactions fostered a spirit of unity and mutual respect, bridging generations through shared stories of service and resilience.
The day concluded with a rendition of the regimental song “Badluram Ka Badan” a stirring anthem that encapsulates the ethos of the Assam Regiment. This initiative honoured the contributions of Ex-Servicemen and served as a motivational experience for the Young Officers, instilling in them a deeper appreciation of the regiment’s traditions and the spirit of “Tagra Raho” — Stay Strong.
