According to the spokesman, the students were shown multimedia presentations and riveting video footage explaining the execution of Operation Sindoor.​

These sessions allowed students to gain first-hand insight from Army personnel into the complexities of modern warfare and the professional ethics of the Indian soldier.​

The anniversary was also marked by the prominent display of commemorative banners at the Albert Ekka War Memorial, Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport, and at all major centres within the capital city, to sensitise travellers and citizens to the significance of this day in the national security calendar.​

The spokesman of the Indian Army stated, “The overwhelming enthusiasm from the youth of Agartala is a testament to the deep bond between the people of Tripura and the Armed Forces.”​

He said that by remembering Operation Sindoor, “we do not just celebrate a military success; we honour the spirit of ‘Nation First’ that drives every soldier.”​

The Spear Corps remains dedicated to fostering a culture of patriotism and ensuring the sacrifices of bravehearts continue to guide and inspire the citizens of tomorrow.​
