7 November 2026

Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh visited Trishakti Corps at Sukna in West Bengal and reviewed infrastructure development along the Line of Actual Control along with the deployment of advanced military equipment and emerging technologies. Present on the occasion were the Chief of the Army Staff, General Dhiraj Seth, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Eastern Command, Lt Gen VMB Krishnan, and the General Officer Commanding of 33 Corps, Lt Gen Man Raj Singh Mann. The minister described the North-East as the first edge of India rather than its last, and said drones and anti-drone systems are now being made by Indian start-ups and industry. He listed hybrid warfare, proxy wars, cyber-attacks, drone incursions and information warfare among present-day threats. Sukna, he noted, is a hub for moving supplies, weaponry, food, medical provisions and personnel to forward posts. He also joined a Barakhana with soldiers on the eve of Diwali.
