“Today, 23rd October, I shall be reaching Tezpur on a 2 day visit to Assam & Arunachal Pradesh. During my visit, I will interact with Armed Forces personnel deployed in the region and also visit forward areas. Looking forward to celebrate Dussehra with the soldiers in Tawang,” Singh wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday.
