Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu flagged off Operation Arunoday, a unique civil-military expedition to open the trekking route from Thingbu village to Bajrang Peak in Tawang district.

The expedition is being jointly undertaken by the Indian Army and the National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIMAS). In a social media post, the Chief Minister said the expedition will unlock the adventure tourism potential of Arunachal Pradesh while creating new opportunities for local communities and bringing greater visibility to the frontier state.
