Lt Gen Gambhir Singh, GOC #GajrajCorps, dedicated Orchid Nest Café, Sessa to the Nation & people of Arunachal Pradesh—an initiative to boost tourism, generate local livelihoods & strengthen the prosperity of India’s border regions. Conceptualised by the Indian Army & BRO and executed by #GajrajCorps with Project VARTAK, the café offers modern amenities for soldiers, civilians & tourists at the serene Sessa valley, a few kilometres from the Nichephu Tunnel #ArunachalPradesh. Lt Gen Gambhir Singh, GOC #GajrajCorps ने Sessa में बने Orchid Nest Café को देश और अरुणाचल प्रदेश के लोगों को समर्पित किया। यह पहल पर्यटन बढ़ाने, स्थानीय लोगों के लिए रोज़गार के अवसर पैदा करने और भारत के सीमा क्षेत्रों की समृद्धि को मजबूत करने के लिए की गई है। Indian Army और BRO द्वारा इसकी योजना बनाई गई थी और #GajrajCorps ने Project VARTAK के साथ मिलकर इसे तैयार किया। यह कैफ़े शांत और सुंदर Sessa valley में, Nichephu Tunnel से कुछ किलोमीटर दूर स्थित है, जहाँ सैनिकों, स्थानीय लोगों और पर्यटकों के लिए आधुनिक सुविधाएँ उपलब्ध हैं। @adgpi @easterncomd @GajrajCorps_IA @MyGovArunachal @SpokespersonMoD @HQ_IDS_India @PIB_India @DefenceMinIndia @BROindia

@GajrajCorps_IA Kudos TMR team & Gajraj Corps for collaborating on training troops in rescue and risk mitigation in challenging high altitude snow bound terrain. Tremendous value addition to troops' skill sets. Priceless impetus given by Lt Gen TK Aich (Retd) is like wind beneath the wings 🫡🇮🇳

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 Experienced mountaineers of Tiranga Mountain Rescue (TMR) Team conducted joint avalanche rescue drills with troops of #GajrajCorps in forward areas of Tawang (15,000 ft). The training enhanced avalanche risk mitigation, rescue techniques & survival skills under extreme high-altitude conditions. The hands-on drills boosted rapid response & life-saving skills, enabling safer & sustained operations in high-altitude conditions. अनुभवी पर्वतारोहियों की Tiranga Mountain Rescue (TMR) Team ने #GajrajCorps के सैनिकों के साथ तवांग के अग्रिम क्षेत्रों में (15,000 फीट की ऊँचाई पर) संयुक्त avalanche rescue drills का आयोजन किया। इस प्रशिक्षण में avalanche से होने वाले जोखिम को कम करने, बचाव तकनीकों और कठिन उच्च-ऊँचाई परिस्थितियों में जीवित रहने के कौशल पर ध्यान दिया गया। इन व्यावहारिक अभ्यासों से तेज़ प्रतिक्रिया और जीवन रक्षक कौशल में वृद्धि हुई, जिससे अत्यंत चुनौतीपूर्ण उच्च-ऊँचाई क्षेत्रों में सुरक्षित और निरंतर संचालन संभव हो सका। #AvalancheRescue #HighAltitudeTraining @adgpi @easterncomd @GajrajCorps_IA @DefenceMinIndia @MyGovArunachal @SpokespersonMoD @HQ_IDS_India @PROTEZPUR
