It is a matter of great pride for a team of women soldiers who successfully completed a four-day patrol along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh.
What is most admirable about the all-women team is that they accomplished the patrolling which was done through very difficult terrain, replete with dangers and hardships. The brave women patrolled through complicated terrain that crisscrossed mountains, streams and dense forests. The patrol members’ grit, determination and navigational skills were all put to test and they truly epitomized women empowerment.
The all-women team comprised of 18 soldiers. The team consisted of members from the Army, Assam Rifles and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP). It was led by a woman officer of the Indian Army. The team began the arduous task of patrolling from Kibuthu, Anjaw district in Arunachal Pradesh on 10 August.
This was the first all-women team to successfully complete adventure cum operational patrolling in the Himalayas. Lieutenant General M M Naravane, GOC-in-C, Eastern Command showered praise on the patrolling team for both professionalism and determination of the women participants.
