THE opening ceremonies for People’s Military Service Train­ing 23 were held yesterday at various military commands, with commandants of the train­ing depots delivering opening speeches.

 

Ceremonies were attend­ed by chief ministers of the respective regions and states, commanders of the relevant commands, and other officials. Trainees were presented with cash awards, foodstuffs and es­sential items.

 

The People’s Military Ser­vice Law was enacted as every citizen has a duty to safeguard Our Three Main National Caus­es: non-disintegration of the Un­ion, non-disintegration of nation­al solidarity, and the perpetuation of sovereignty. The law came into effect on 10 February 2024 to facil­itate the organization of military training courses. Those who have completed the People’s Military Service Training are now serving in various military units, fulfilling their responsibilities for national defence and security. — MNA/ KTZH
