The Spear Corps of the Indian Army commemorated the 78th Independence Day with a series of engaging and meaningful events across the northeastern states - Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, and Manipur. This celebration not only honoured the sacrifices made for the nation but also reinforced the army's commitment to promoting national integration and unity in a region characterised by its diverse cultures and communities, the Spear Corps said in a statement. The celebrations comprised a myriad of activities like unity run, tiranga (tricolour) walkathon, cycle and motorbike expeditions in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland. They saw enthusiastic participation from civilians, schoolchildren and dignitaries, the army said.
