Guwahati, Aug 28: The GOC Spear Corps and all ranks of the Indian Army’s Spear Corps extended warm greetings to citizens across the Northeast and the country on the sacred occasion of Raksha Bandhan, highlighting the festival’s enduring message of protection, love and trust.

In a message marking the festival, the Spear Corps said the values embodied by Raksha Bandhan closely resonate with the commitment of soldiers who remain dedicated to safeguarding the nation and its people.
Raksha Bandhan celebrates the bond of affection and protection between brothers and sisters and carries a wider message of mutual trust, responsibility and solidarity. The Army said these values continue to inspire its personnel in the performance of their duties, particularly those serving in challenging and remote areas of the Northeast.
The GOC Spear Corps and the Spear Warriors reaffirmed their steadfast resolve to remain vigilant and committed to maintaining peace and security across the region.
The message also underscored the close relationship between the armed forces and the people. Soldiers deployed across the Northeast routinely operate in difficult terrain and demanding conditions while remaining committed to their responsibilities towards national security and community welfare.
The Corps conveyed its best wishes for peace, prosperity and happiness to citizens on the festive occasion, while reiterating that the security of the nation and the well-being of its people remain at the centre of its mission.
The Raksha Bandhan message assumes particular significance as it links a deeply cherished cultural tradition with the broader national values of duty, sacrifice and protection. For soldiers, the concept of safeguarding others extends beyond personal relationships to a larger commitment towards the nation and its citizens.
The Spear Corps reiterated that it would continue to discharge its responsibilities with professionalism, discipline and dedication, while remaining a sentinel of peace and security in the Northeast.
The Army’s greeting thus carried a message beyond the festival itself—celebrating bonds of trust and protection while reaffirming the commitment of the armed forces to stand firm in the service of the nation.
