During an exclusive interview, Lt. Col. P. A. Hoffman, the Commanding Officer of the 155 Armoured Regiment, conveyed that the event marked the commencement of the year, underscoring the significance of fostering unity, development, and peace in the region. According to Lt. Col. P. A.

Emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace, particularly in the context of an upcoming election year, Lt. Col. Hoffman urged the security services to prioritize unity as a cornerstone for the nation’s stability. The commanding officer envisioned the Unity Walk evolving into an annual tradition, reaching out to a broader cross-section of the community.
