The Indian Army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) successfully carried out the high-altitude exercise Achook Prahar in Arunachal Pradesh. This exercise was conducted under simulated combat conditions to test interoperability, layered defence systems, and rapid response mechanisms in the eastern sector. It highlighted the preparedness of the armed forces to respond to potential challenges in difficult terrains. The exercise also follows earlier integrated drills such as Prachand Prahar and Poorvi Prahar conducted in the same region, reinforcing India’s strategic focus and operational readiness along its eastern borders.
