It is a matter of immense pride and honour to lead the Operational Sector at Jorhat. Established in 2005, the Ops Jorhat Sector has played a pivotal role in safeguarding the sovereignty and internal security of our nation. The Sector exercises operational jurisdiction over the entire state of Arunachal Pradesh, ten districts of Upper Assam, four districts of Barak Valley, and four Sectors of the Assam-Nagaland Disputed Area Belt (DAB).
In 2023, Ops Jorhat Sector was designated as an Administrative Sector, entrusted with the administrative control of Range Khatkhati, Ops Range Dibrugarh, GC Khatkhati, and its affiliated units. The Sector Headquarters is strategically located at Rowriah, Jorhat (Assam).
Geographically, Jorhat lies nestled between the Brahmaputra River to the north and Nagaland to the south, at 26°46′ N latitude and 96°16′ E longitude, in the heart of the Brahmaputra valley. Originally a sub-division of the undivided Sibsagar District, Jorhat attained district status in 1983. Presently, it comprises three sub-divisions: Jorhat, Majuli, and Titabor. The region is predominantly Hindu and holds the distinction of being the first fully literate district in Assam.
Once severely affected by insurgency, this region has witnessed a remarkable transformation. Through the unwavering courage, relentless determination, and supreme sacrifices of CRPF personnel, Ops Jorhat Sector has neutralized major insurgent threats. Today, it stands as a beacon of stability and peace, upholding the force’s legacy of excellence and valour.
While executing its operational and administrative responsibilities, the Sector remains deeply committed to strengthening bonds with the local population through sustained Civic Action Programmes. These initiatives underscore our belief in inclusive security and community trust.
Despite the region’s challenging terrain and climate, Ops Jorhat Sector continues to be at the forefront of counter-insurgency operations, in close coordination with the State Police, Army, and other security forces. The Sector has consistently delivered noteworthy operational successes, significantly contributing to the internal security architecture of the region.
Jai Hind!
