The Indian Army on Friday, May 15, inaugurated a new transit facility for troops at Sigar Military Station in Arunachal Pradesh’s East Siang district, aimed at strengthening operational preparedness and improving troop welfare in forward areas.

According to an official statement, the facility has been developed by the Spearhead Gunners under the aegis of the Spearhead Division to provide a comfortable and efficient transit halt for soldiers moving to and from remote operational locations.

Named Ashiyana, the facility has been equipped with essential amenities designed to enhance the convenience, morale, and overall well-being of troops deployed in strategically important frontier regions.
