Summary:
Probably for the first time during such an occasion, all officers, including Lt Gen M M Naravane, GOC-in-C, Eastern Command, sported black arm bands to mourn the martyrs. The rescue of tourists from Sikkim got the Eastern Command a letter of appreciation from the government there, Lt Gen Naravane said. "We all work for the defence of the country and an attack on one agency is an attack on all of us. We will continue to work in synergy and won't let a few incidents here or there affect our morale. Strong vigil is being maintained along the Indo-Myanmar border and movement of various groups is under constant surveillance..
