The aim of the Mela was to familiarise the public with the Indian Army & to encourage a sense of belongingness & togetherness.
Battle of Walong:
Walong is one of India’s easternmost villages in Arunachal Pradesh.
In the 1962 India-China War, the Indian Army defended against China in all sectors except one — Arunachal Pradesh’s Walong.
