In a significant community outreach effort, Assam Rifles organized an interaction event in Chassad, bringing together 42 influential leaders including pastors and church members from various border villages. This initiative aimed to strengthen community ties and address critical regional issues.
The event provided a crucial platform for open dialogue, where participants discussed security challenges, peace efforts, and trade dynamics affecting the border areas. Key topics included the ethnic violence in Manipur and the ongoing turmoil in Myanmar’s border regions. The discussions also focused on developing strategies to ensure lasting peace in Kamjong and nearby areas.
A major point of discussion was the civic action programs conducted by Assam Rifiles in the region. These programs are designed to enhance the livelihoods and living standards of the local communities, with several developmental projects slated for completion in the coming months.
The gathering also served as an opportunity for community bonding over a shared lunch, where local pastors and church members expressed their appreciation for the Assam Rifiles’ efforts in organizing the event. They acknowledged the respect and honor shown to them and pledged their full support towards maintaining peace and tranquility in the region. This includes efforts to curb illegal trade, drug trafficking, smuggling, and the movement of contraband items, especially following the suspension of the Free Movement Regime (FMR).
The event marks a critical step in strengthening community relations and fostering a peaceful environment along the Indo-Myanmar border. Assam Rifles remains dedicated to working closely with local communities to ensure a safe and prosperous future for all residents of the region.
