Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen (retd) K T Parnaik, on September 20 during an interaction with Inspector General of Assam Rifles (North) Major General Manish Kumar, at Raj Bhawan emphasised the need for real-time intelligence sharing among forces and the formation of quick-reaction teams.

The Arunachal governor stressed the importance of 'friendly policing' and advised Kumar to leverage technology for improved monitoring and automation of information processes.

A Raj Bhawan communique said that the Inspector General of Assam Rifles (IGAR), who has the security responsibility of eastern Arunachal and Nagaland, reviewed the law and order and security scenario in the eastern part of Arunachal Pradesh, with the governor during the meeting.

The governor, while sharing his service experiences in the northeastern region and his observations during the tour of Tirap, Changlang and Longding (TCL) districts in the state, recommended enhancing security through detailed planning and proactive measures.

The IGAR assured the governor of the full cooperation of the Assam Rifles with the state police, and the local communities within his jurisdiction.
