Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Command, conducted an in-depth visit to the Sindh Brigade to evaluate various facets of its operational capabilities, training methodologies, and infrastructure advancements. This assessment is part of the ongoing efforts to ensure the brigade’s readiness and effectiveness in both combat and humanitarian operations.
During the visit, Lt Gen Seth received a comprehensive briefing on the operational and training readiness of the brigade. He was particularly impressed with the significant contributions made by the Sindh Brigade in Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations, especially in Gujarat. The brigade has established itself as a pivotal player in disaster response, consistently delivering prompt and effective assistance to communities impacted by natural disasters.
A highlight of the visit was the commendation given to the brigade for its performance during the Multi-Agency Annual Joint HADR Exercises. These exercises include:
-
Sanyukt Vimochan, which focuses on a coordinated response to search, rescue, and relief operations in disaster situations.
- Jal Thal Raksha, emphasizing collaboration between various agencies to mitigate disasters, whether they occur on land or in aquatic environments.
The successful execution of these exercises demonstrated the brigade’s ability to foster inter-agency cooperation, which is vital for ensuring unified and effective responses during emergencies. The collaboration between the Army, civil authorities, and disaster response teams underscores the importance of teamwork in managing crises.
As he commended the troops for their dedication and professionalism, Lt Gen Seth recognized their adherence to exemplary standards in both combat readiness and humanitarian relief efforts. He urged all ranks to maintain their commitment and strive to uphold the highest operational standards in future engagements.
The Sindh Brigade, as a critical component of the Southern Command, continues to play an instrumental role in fortifying national security while also spearheading disaster response and humanitarian initiatives. This visit further highlights the Indian Army’s unwavering commitment to serve not only in combat but also in providing vital support to affected communities in times of need.
