WELLINGTON, Apr 28: Governor of Arunachal Pradesh Brig. (Dr.) B.D. Mishra (Retd.) accompanied with the First Lady of the state Neelam Misra today met the officers, Junior Commission Officers (JCOs), troops of 7 Madras and 18 Madras Regiment and their families at  Madras Regimental Centre here in Tamil Nadu.
The Governor during his army days was commissioned in 18 Madras (Mysore Battalion) way back in December 1961 and later commanded the 7th Battalion of the Regiment as a Lieutenant Colonel.
Sharing his fond memories of the Madras Regiment Battalions deployed in Arunachal Pradesh, the Governor said that in true tradition of Indian Army, the troops of Madras Regiment have strengthened the bonhomie amongst the local people and the security forces in their unit locations. He appreciated them for instilling confidence amongst the local population and also for building a strong bond amongst the armed forces and civil society.
The Governor complimented the officers and men for their operational efficiency and excellent environmental work in their Battalion areas. He also felicitated the Battalion for its successful tenure in Arunachal Pradesh and commended the 20th Battalion of Madras Regiment led by Colonel Vikram Nalawade, now deployed in Namsai district for its vigil and alertness in maintaining security of the border area despite difficult terrain and inclement weather conditions.
Wishing the Battalions grand success in their future endeavours, the Governor also advised the officers and JCOs to take special care of the children of the ‘Veer Naris’ of the martyrs. PRO Raj Bhavan
