AFOVA New Letter 2 of Year 2021

Section 6 - Memoirs CV 2 No. 02 / 2021 Page 123 of 332 Author’s Note I have never visited NEFA, nor seen a Field workshop: I had to rely on memory for the little titbits given by my late husband on his command at Likabali. The story of the Jonga is true as also his interaction with the Apatanis and spotting Malinithan. The Role of Mukthi Bahini is well known. I acknowledge the details of Field workshops from Gen R Narasimhan EME, Maj Gen C Govindswamy EME, and Brig S Rajagopalan EME with gratitude as the details gave robustness and a dimension to the article.
