MECHUKHA— In a display of adventurous spirit and solidarity with security forces, Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein took charge of an Army All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) to reach the remote Lamang Border Post, one of India’s highest outposts in the Shi-Yomi district.
Accompanied by his wife, the Deputy CM journeyed to the high-altitude post at 10,300 feet, where he interacted with personnel from the Indian Army and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP). The visit underscored the commitment of the state’s leadership to connect with and support those safeguarding India’s frontiers in some of the most challenging terrains.
“The scenic beauty and the adventurous trails leading to the post make it an unforgettable visit,” Mein remarked after completing the arduous journey. His visit showcased the natural splendor of the region while emphasizing the rugged conditions faced by the armed forces stationed there.
The Lamang Border Post, located in a remote and strategic area, plays a critical role in monitoring activities along the international border. Its isolation, combined with extreme weather and difficult terrain, makes access a logistical challenge. The use of ATVs has become indispensable for maintaining regular connectivity, particularly during adverse conditions when traditional vehicles struggle to navigate the rugged trails.
The Deputy CM’s journey highlighted not only the scenic allure of Arunachal Pradesh’s high-altitude regions but also the perseverance of security personnel who work tirelessly to secure the border. His visit serves as a reminder of the dedication required to protect India’s sovereignty in its most remote areas.
