The
Indian Army’s Corps of Engineers (also termed as the Sappers), observed its
239th Corps Day on Monday. Major General Sanjeev Jain, Chief Engineer, apart
from other Serving and Retired officers laid wreath at Veer Smriti, Chandimandir
Station and paid homage to the martyrs.
Being
one of the oldest wings of the Indian Army, the Corps of Engineers has played a
significant role in providing Combat Engineer support during war. Besides, it
has also supported infrastructural development of the Armed forces and other
defence organizations of India. The Sappers true to its motto “Sarvatra” have
proved its mettle by providing selfless service in all spheres of nation
building including construction and maintenance of roads and habitats along our
vast borders. They also provided support to the citizens during natural
disasters.
The
Sappers continue to remain at the forefront in all spheres, working tirelessly
and have proven to be ‘Force Multiplier’ for Western Command.
