GANGTOK, 18 June: The first Sikkim Scouts Battalion is now fully trained and equipped to shoulder its responsibilities of serving on the border. The passing out parade of the Battalion was held recently at the 11 Gorkha Rifles Regimental Centre in Lucknow where the new recruits underwent their training. They will be posted in Sikkim in the coming few months.
A press release from Col DN Bhutia [Secretary, Rajya Sainik Board] informs that he visited 11 GRRC Lucknow in the first week of June and interacted with the Sikkim Scouts.
There have been no drop outs, failures or deserters during the rigorous military training, he highlights.
Colonel of the Regiment and all staff of 11 GRRC have praised the Government of Sikkim for extending all possible help and for having generously provided the much needed financial support of Rs 1 crore for establishment of Sikkim Scouts Battalion, Col Bhutia informs.
They will not only be contributing to the country but may get an opportunity to represent the state at the international level whenever called upon to serve under UN Mission, he further states.
