The Indian Army ramped up defenses with a pivotal joint anti-terror mock drill at Assam’s Tinsukia Railway Station. Organized by Spear Corps’ Red Shield Gunners on January 24, it honed responses to sabotage by anti-national forces on key assets.
This strategic station is indispensable for Northeast connectivity, ferrying countless travelers and goods each day. The drill recreated harrowing scenarios—suspected blasts, intruder threats, and disruptive acts—with lifelike intensity.
A coalition of Army commandos, Assam Police, GRP personnel, and administrators executed synchronized maneuvers. Core elements tested: hazard spotting, mass evacuations, on-site medical interventions, ordnance disposal, and prompt service resumption.
By scrutinizing protocols and fostering seamless integration, the drill eliminated vulnerabilities and amplified collective efficacy. Special forces demonstrated lightning-fast dominance over simulated crises.
PRO Defence emphasized, ‘These periodic operations solidify our Northeast security grid and empower civilian trust.’ In terrorism-vulnerable zones like Tinsukia, they are indispensable.
Residents voiced approval, feeling more secure post-drill. The Army’s pledge for continuous drills ensures ironclad readiness, projecting a united front against any adversity.
