One of the largest gatherings of ex-servicemen in the northeastern region, held in Assam’s Sonitpur district on Sunday (March 8, 2026), focused on helping veterans transition to civilian careers.
Eight government departments and agencies, along with four private sector groups, provided information on employment opportunities and dealership prospects to about 4,000 ex-servicemen, war widows, and their family members from northern Assam’s Biswanath and Sonitpur districts.
