Army Chief visited forward area in the Chushul sector on Thursday. India occupied two major strategic heights such as this area on the South bank of Pangong Tso and at Rechin La near Rezang La last week. Now India is able to keep track record of China’s movement at Moldo garrison.
General Naravane also visited the headquarters of XIV Corps in Leh where Senior Commanders briefed him about the situation and actual preparedness on the ground level.
“I visited different places after reaching Leh. I talked to officers, JCOs and took stock of preparedness. The morale of jawans is high and they are fully prepared to deal with any challenge that may arise… I would like to reiterate that our officers are the finest in the world and will not only make the Army, proud, but also the nation,” he added.
