Operation Sadbhavna in Arunachal: A fresh Community Hall and Gompa has been opened at Senge in Arunachal Pradesh. The place sits very high up, at about 9,300 feet. The work was done by the Indian Army under Operation Sadbhavna. It is meant to help people living in border areas and also keep local culture safe and alive. The opening took place on June 7, 2026 and Guru Tulku Rinpoche was there to lead the inauguration.

What did the Army do there?
The Army carried out this work through the Gajraj Corps, which is also known as the Sela Warriors. The upgrade was not just about one building. It was part of a wider effort to improve basic facilities in faraway areas where life is often hard and support is limited. Recent reporting on other Army work in Arunachal Pradesh also shows the same pattern, with Operation Sadbhavna being used for community help, local development, and better ties with people in border villages.

The new and better-equipped building is expected to be used for many things. It can host village meetings, social functions, and religious events. The Gompa part of the site also helps protect the area’s spiritual life and old traditions. In a place like Senge, where the land is high, remote, and close to the border, even one strong community space can mean a lot for daily life. Officials said the project shows the Army’s steady focus on helping people in frontier regions and supporting the social and cultural life of local communities.
