Experienced mountaineers of the Tiranga Mountain Rescue (TMR) Team conducted joint avalanche rescue drills with troops of Gajraj Corps in the forward areas of Tawang, at an altitude of approximately 15,000 feet.
The intensive training focused on avalanche risk mitigation, specialised rescue techniques, and survival skills essential for operating in extreme high-altitude and harsh weather conditions. Emphasis was laid on hands-on, realistic scenarios to enhance preparedness for real-life contingencies.
The drills significantly strengthened rapid response capabilities and life-saving skills, enabling troops to carry out safer and more sustained operations in some of the most challenging high-altitude terrains.
Such joint training initiatives underscore the Indian Army’s continued commitment to operational readiness, interoperability, and mission effectiveness in extreme environments.
