“It is noteworthy to mention that the North Eastern part of the country now enjoys relative peace and calmness owing to the selfless contributions and dedication of the men of the armed forces.

“I believe this is what gave birth to a forum like this, where we would rub minds and examine areas that require improvement,” he said.
