India, Bangladesh to hold joint military combat exercise
The Indian and the Bangladeshi army are all set to take part in an intensive combat exercise at India's Counter-Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School at Vairengte in Mizoram.
As per reports, "Exercise Sampriti" will be conducted from 6 to 18 November.
The military combat exercise is organised to conduct counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations in a semi-mountainous jungle terrain to bolster bilateral military ties.
The Exercise Sampriti will include a field training at Vairengte, and a command post exercise at the Umroi contonment in Meghalaya.
Apart from Sampriti, a joint training capsule on anti-terror operations will also be held from 13 November to 10 December at Danapur Cantonment in Bihar.
