Arunachal Pradesh Governor J P Rajkhowa has expressed his wish for a bright and glorious future for Indo-China friendship during his visit to a remote border post in Tawang district bordering the neighbouring country.
During his visit to the border post of Bumla yesterday, the Governor placed a stone on the 'Heap of Stones' on the Indo-China border for harmonious relationship between the two Asian giants, a Raj Bhawan release said today.
The Governor also lauded the Army personnel for doing their duty in such a difficult and harsh terrain.
Interacting with the Army personnel at 'Maitri Sthal', 33 km from Tawang, Rajkhowa said the people of Arunachal Pradesh should take pride in the Indian Army.
Commanding Officer of 14 Punjab Regiment, Col Rajesh, Sena Medal, briefed the Governor on Bumla Pass and activities in 'Maitri Sthal' towards Sino-India friendship.
On his way to the border post, the Governor paid homage to Param Vir Chakra Awardee Subedar Joginder Singh at his memorial located at a height of 16000 ft, near Bumla.
During his visit, the Governor was pleased to see large number of tourists visiting the border post and its surrounding area and the Army and civil administrations, jointly facilitating the visitors.
He expressed hope that the serene and pristine environment on way to the border post will be preserved and more tourists will be able to see the nature at its best, which in turn will boost the rural economy of the district and state as a whole, the release said.
