TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The India Army troops rose to the occasion to the challenges along the northern border as likely contingencies and possible options were war-gamed beforehand, Army Chief Gen M M Naravane said on Wednesday, referring to the eastern Ladakh standoff with China.
He also said that while focusing on the situation in eastern Ladakh, the Army did not ignore the rest of India’s borders as sufficient forces were deployed in high readiness along the western and eastern sectors to respond to any “misadventure”. He was speaking at an event organised by the All India Management Association.
“As the situation warmed up along our Northern borders, our soldiers rose to the occasion. They had full faith in their leaders. They were willing to work through all the challenges and difficulties to achieve their objectives, all this within the available resources,” Gen Naravane said.
