28 Assam Rifles conferred with unit citation by Tripura Governor

In recognition of its outstanding service and exemplary contributions, 28 Assam Rifles has been awarded the prestigious Unit Citation by the Governor of Tripura on Friday.
The unit has played a pivotal role in anti-narcotics operations across the state, successfully conducting over 60 operations leading to seizure of contraband worth more than Rs 300 crore. These efforts have dealt a significant blow to illegal drug networks and contributed towards a drug-free society, in line with Govt's Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan.
In addition to its operational excellence, 28 Assam Rifles has been at the forefront of humanitarian efforts. The battalion actively participated in relief and rescue operations during the monsoon floods in August 2024, providing immediate support and assistance to affected communities under Operation JAL RAHAT.
The unit has also conducted numerous medical camps in remote and underdeveloped areas, delivering essential healthcare services to those with limited access. Its commitment to the upliftment of the underprivileged section of the society through various civic action programs stands as a shining example of civil-military cooperation and people-centric soldiering.
