Challenge in Bihar
In the tumultuous arena of Bihar politics, where alliances shift like sand dunes in the wind, this election seems poised to redefine the political landscape.
Amidst their growing bilateral ties in security and other critical areas, India and Saudi Arabia on Monday launched a 14-day joint military exercise named ‘SADA TANSEEQ’ at Mahajan in Rajasthan.
The Saudi Arabian contingent comprising 45 personnel is being represented by Royal Saudi Land Forces. The Indian Army contingent also comprising 45 personnel is being represented by a Battalion from the Brigade of the Guards (Mechanised Infantry).
”The aim of the Exercise is to train troops of both sides for joint operations in semi-desert terrain under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. The exercise will enable both sides to share their best practices in the tactics, techniques and procedures of conducting operations in sub-conventional domains. It will facilitate developing interoperability, bonhomie and camaraderie between troops from both the sides,” the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.

The exercise will provide an opportunity to both the contingents to strengthen their bond. It will act as a platform to achieve shared security objectives, enhance the level of defence cooperation and foster bilateral relations between the two friendly nations, the MoD added.
