They were subsequently informed about various facilities available to them and mechanisms to resolve their issues. The importance of getting themselves registered in National Population Register, making Aadhar card and Suvigya software for veterans were employed.  The Officer from Patsoi Army Camp told the veterans that they are free to approach army camp regarding any problem faced by them and all possible assistance will be provided to them. The troops later compiled a list of facilities available to the Ex-Servicemen and handed it over to them for ready reference making it a fruitful interaction for the veterans. This interaction has created a combined list of veterans in the area which will lead to institutionalized method of support for the veterans. Assam Rifles continues to strive to the people of Manipur in every manner and be a true supporter of the population.
