Dibrugarh, Feb 27: Troops of the Gajraj Corps have successfully completed specialised avalanche safety and rescue drills in collaboration with expert trainers from the Tiranga Mountain Rescue Team (TMR), significantly enhancing operational preparedness in high-altitude environments.

Conducted in the remote frontier regions of Arunachal Pradesh across the rugged Eastern Himalayas, the intensive training was held at altitudes exceeding 14,000 feet, where extreme weather and treacherous terrain pose constant operational challenges.

The programme focused on avalanche risk assessment, rapid response protocols, casualty search and extraction techniques, snow survival strategies, and critical decision-making under severe environmental conditions.

Realistic, scenario-based simulations mirrored high-altitude emergencies, allowing troops to refine crisis response efficiency and strengthen life-saving capabilities. Special emphasis was placed on coordinated team manoeuvres, effective use of specialised rescue equipment, and sustaining operations in snow-bound, avalanche-prone sectors.

Officials said the joint initiative has substantially strengthened operational readiness and reinforced the Corps’ capacity to execute safe, swift, and sustained missions in some of the country’s most formidable high-altitude terrains along the northern frontiers.
