Jammu Mar 8
Nangi Tekri Battalion under the aegis of Krishna Ghati Bridage organized a ‘Fauji Mela’ to showcase the army to the local populace and imbibe a sense of patriotism amongst the local masses.
The mela took off amidst fanfare and attracted a large number of locals. Children from local schools thronged in large numbers to the venue to have a glimpse of the equipment displayed at the mela. Motor cycle rider display, dog show and exhibition of arms and ammunition were the part of the mela.
Krishna Ghati Brigade has been instrumental in promoting developmental activities in the area which is extremely underdeveloped and devoid of basic infrastructural facilities.
A large number of refreshment and ex-servicemen contributory health scheme stalls were also established at the mela. Seizing the opportunity, medial detachments and dental facility with Army doctors were established where free medicines were distributed to the needy. A cultural program reflecting the rich heritage and culture of the region was also presented on the occasion. The holding of this mela gave an excellent outing to the locals as also the feel of the weaponry and equipment.
Holding such programs have brought the local population closer to the army and also strengthened the ties between the Army and the civil administration.
Expressing their gratitude to the Army for such types of programs, the locals present on the occasion, requested for organizing more such events in future also.
