On Thursday, Lieutenant General Neeraj Varshney VSM, Commandant MCEME and Colonel Commandant of the Corps of EME, led the celebrations by laying a wreath at the EME War Memorial, paying homage to the bravehearts who laid down their lives in the service of the nation.

Addressing all ranks during a Special Sainik Sammelan, Lt Gen Varshney lauded the unwavering professionalism and dedication of EME personnel and civilian staff in shaping a technically adept and operationally resilient force. He underscored the critical role of EME technicians in maintaining the Army’s combat readiness, citing their exemplary performance during Operation Sindoor as a testament to their skill.
