Children enthusiastically participated in a tug-of-war event, learning the values of teamwork and discipline, while women and children joined musical chair games that filled the surroundings with laughter and inclusiveness. Approximately 110 villagers took part in the event, reflecting the strong bond and goodwill shared between the community and the force.

The initiative was warmly received by the villagers and further strengthened the longstanding relationship between Assam Rifles and the local population.
