Emphasizing that crucial alert is being advanced on the nation’s northern and eastern borders, Army chief General M.M. Naravane said the Indian Army is ready to face any occurrence.

As a result, our operational preparedness is of a high order,”, Mr. Naravane announced during a press conference. Blaming Pakistan for advancing to espouse terrorism as a state policy, the Army chief said about the armed forces’ zero-tolerance for terror.

Mr. Naravane also showed happiness on the Army occupying significant budgetary allocations last year to improve capability. “Each arm and service has got what it needs. What has transpired is the need for us to restructure and capability development. On the multiple threat perceptions on the border. There is no doubt that Pakistan and China together form a potent threat and there is an aspect of collusively. It is very much form of our assessments while formulating plans.” Gen. Naravane said.

Gen. Naravane termed the rallying of forces along the eastern boundary by the People’s Liberation Army as an annual affair. “We were fully conscious of their deployment. But they had a first-mover benefit. India had the same advantage in August (last year) when we surprised the Chinese despite eyeball to eyeball confrontation, However, there is no decline in their power or our strength in the conflict areas” he said. The Army chief suggested that the Chinese might have retreated from the base areas since the training areas have been abandoned.
