President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday interacted with the members of the Territorial Army at the Rashtrapati Bhawan on the occasion of 70th raising anniversary of the force.
The Territorial Army (TA) is a part of the regular army. Its present role is to relieve the regular army from static duties and assist the civil administration in dealing with natural calamities.
TA's role also extends to provide units for the regular army when the security of the country is threatened.
