India’s is a very professional Army and there’s a lot of honour in doing one’s duty”, Captain Sonya Noori told WION.
With nearly 10 more days of training to go, the women officers from Afghanistan are a confident lot, hoping that they would be able to make the most of their training, by sharing the knowledge with their juniors and colleagues back in their home country.
