In his message, Signal officer in Chief, Lieutenant General Vivek Dogra said, over the past year, the Corps of Signals has played a critical role as the Arm of the Future in facilitating operational readiness and furthering national security objectives. 
 
He paid homage to the brave signallers who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.
