Addressing the media, Das said that the newly attested recruits of the JAK LI regiment were given contemporary training and are ready to face all kinds of contingencies and unforeseen situations.

"The unique thing about our regiment is that our troops hail from Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. So they have this ingrained quality to be much more security-conscious than others," he stated. Speaking on the drone challenge and social media warfare, Das informed that the training of the recruits includes subjects like science and technology and cyber security and they are made familiar with all kinds of threats that can be posed by the adversaries.
