The Indian Army conducted a joint training exercise "Exercise Trishakti Prahar" in West Bengal from 21 Jan to 31 Jan 2023.
The aim of the exercise was to practice the combat preparedness of the security forces using the latest weapons and equipment in a networked, integrated environment, involving all arms of the Army, Indian Air Force, and CAPFs.
Last year too, the Indian Army and the IAF conducted air insertion drills around the Siliguri Corridor along the northern border with China.
“As part of the exercise, swift mobilization and deployment practices were carried out in various locations across North Bengal,” said one of the people.
The exercise culminated with an Integrated firepower exercise in Teesta Field Firing Ranges.
“The firepower exercise was aimed at synergizing the firepower assets of the Indian Armed Forces and CAPFs to orchestrate an integrated battle.”
The people said the conduct of "Exercise Trishakti Prahar'' enabled rehearsal and coordination amongst various agencies for quick movement and employment of forces across North Bengal.
