Brigadier Bhupal Singh, SM, Commander of the Tawang Brigade, addressed the gathering and emphasized that the concept of security in the modern era extends beyond traditional military boundaries.
“Security today is not confined to the Army, paramilitary, or police forces alone. Every citizen has a crucial role to play in safeguarding our society and nation,” he said.
Stressing the importance of information sharing and public engagement, he noted that protecting the nation encompasses everything from safeguarding citizens’ rights and assets to ensuring the future of the next generation.
Brigadier Singh also raised concerns over the vulnerability of youth to misinformation and propaganda on social media and called for collective vigilance and responsible digital behaviour.
He appreciated the support of the district administration, led by Deputy Commissioner Kanki Darang, for nurturing the longstanding civil-military cooperation in Tawang.
Deputy Commissioner Darang, in his remarks, thanked the Tawang Brigade for initiating the meeting and underscored the value of continued collaboration.
“This synergy between the civilians and the Army in Tawang is vital to maintain peace and unity. What affects one part of the country can have repercussions here too—our collaboration is our strength,” he said.
The meeting concluded with a farewell lunch hosted by the Tawang Brigade in honour of the outgoing Deputy Commissioner.
Brigadier Singh and his team presented a memento to Darang as a mark of appreciation for his dedicated service to the region.
