LUMDUNG, 8 Jul: Governor KT Parnaik advised the officers of the armed forces stationed in East Kameng district to “encourage the youths of the state to join the armed forces, as the sons of the soil will always be an asset for the forces.”
Interacting with the officers and personnel of the armed forces, here on Friday, the governor also stressed on “cohesive approach, proper liaising and coordination among the forces and the state police and the civil authorities in the state.”
