Itanagar , Feb 12: In a significant civil–military collaboration in Arunachal Pradesh, the SpearHeadDivision under SpearCorps played an active role in supporting the civil administration during the inauguration of the Tsari Taksing Gajang Shedup Dargeyling Monastery at Taksing village, in the remote Upper Subansiri district near the India–China border. The monastery was formally inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Shri Pema Khandu, underscoring the importance of cultural, spiritual, and developmental initiatives in frontier regions.

The historic event drew a large gathering of local residents, community leaders, and officials, marking a rare and momentous public congregation in this sparsely populated border area. CM Pema Khandu, addressing attendees, highlighted the strategic and cultural significance of the monastery, which reflects the region’s rich Buddhist heritage and deep spiritual roots.
The inauguration was also enlivened by a spirited Bhangra performance, symbolising cultural integration and ethnic harmony and strengthening the bond between security forces and local communities. The performance showcased not only the vibrancy of local traditions but also the shared respect and unity between diverse cultural groups in the Northeast.
The Chief Minister reiterated the state government’s commitment to advancing development, connectivity, and livelihoods in remote and strategically sensitive regions. He noted that improved infrastructure, recently enhanced road links, and broader development projects aim to integrate these frontier communities more closely with the rest of the state and nation.
The involvement of the SpearHead Division in facilitating the event reflects a broader pattern of cooperation between the Indian Army and civil authorities to promote social welfare, resilience, and cultural preservation in border areas. Such joint efforts are part of a sustained push to combine defence responsibilities with community support—strengthening trust, enhancing quality of life, and celebrating local heritage in some of India’s most remote regions.
Overall, the inauguration of the Tsari Taksing Gajang Shedup Dargeyling Monastery stands as both a spiritual milestone for the local population and a symbol of inclusive development and cultural solidarity along India’s frontier.
