Governor of Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya Brig. (Dr.) B.D. Mishra (Retd.) emphasized on good Civil-Military relations for facilitating development of the North East Region.

He told the officers of the Indian Armed Forces at Eastern Air Command Headquarters, Upper Shillong, Meghalaya on Thursday.

The Governor said that better bonhomie between the armed forces and civil population will instill a sense of security amongst the masses, particularly in view of the belligerent attitude of our neighbouring countries.

The Governor said that civil-military relations in India suffered great setbacks as small countries around India which had got their freedom from the British underwent many military coups.

The Governor stressed on good management in the Armed Forces for good Civil-Military relations.

He advised the Air Force and Military Officers to have five traits, i.e. observant eyes, perceptive mind, commitment, innovative action and perseverance and imbibe six attributes, which are transparency, accountability, probity, equal dispensation, self-audit and mid-course correction when, where and as needed.

The Governor said that these five traits and six attributes are essential to become a good Armed Force leader.
