The Indian contingent for MITRA SHAKTI 2026 is drawn mainly from a battalion of which regiment?
- A.The Garhwal Rifles
- B.The Rajputana Rifles
- C.The Jat Regiment
- D.The Madras Regiment
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Rajputana Rifles. The contingent of one hundred and seventy members that left for Sri Lanka is built mainly around a battalion of that regiment, with troops from other arms and services and personnel of the Indian Air Force making up the rest. The presence of air force personnel is worth noting, because it makes the contingent a tri-service flavoured one rather than a purely infantry party. During the fortnight the two sides will practise road block operations, patrolling in built-up areas, protection of vehicle convoys, area ambushes, crowd dispersal and combined arms action against fortified positions, before a joint validation exercise closes the schedule. Options A, C and D are well known infantry regiments of the Indian Army, but none of them was named as the main contributor to this contingent.
