Today, on the occasion of 24th Raising Day of the only Operational Joint Services Command of the nation, it is a matter of great honour to acknowledge the service and sacrifice of the personnel of Andaman Nicobar Command (ANC). I have been operationally and now administratively closely associated with the functioning of this prestigious Command.
The command has grown from its fledgling days into a cohesive and potent organisation not only capable of protecting the national interests in this region but also enable India to be a regional security provider. The success of numerous operations undertaken in the recent past, along with the Operational Demonstration to the Hon'ble President in Feb 24 bear testimony to the potent operational capability of the command. The command has seen significant growth in its capability and infrastructure and is poised to act as a spring board to the east.
