Tri-Services Exercise and Cycling Expedition Held in Arunachal Pradesh
In the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, India's army, navy, and air force held a big practice called 'Poorvi Prachand Prahar'.
It was to show how well they can work together using different tools and special forces, even in tough, high-up places.
This helps them get ready for any future fights.
Also, a bike ride called 'Pedal to Plant' started from Arunachal Pradesh.
A brave cyclist named Nisha Kumari is leading this ride across India to plant one lakh trees.
The goal is to make India greener, healthier, and a better place.
The bike ride also honors a famous leader named Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Both events show teamwork and care for the country.
Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force conducted the 'Poorvi Prachand Prahar' tri-service exercise in Mechuka, Arunachal Pradesh.
The exercise aimed to showcase integrated war-fighting capability, technological adaptation, and operational synergy in high-altitude conditions.
Special Forces, unmanned platforms, and networked operations were highlighted during the exercise.
