Later, Lt Gen PGK Menon summarised General Naravane about the current security situation and operational readiness in the Corps Zone. The Army Chief is programmed to return back on April 28.
The Army chief’s visit finds it important as India and China have been involved in a military stalemate for almost a year but freed from the most controversial Pangong lake area last month after extended talks at both military and political levels.
Earlier on April 10, India and China held the 11th round of Corps Commander-level talks in Ladakh on Friday where withdrawal from remaining friction points including Gogra heights, Hot Springs and Depsang Plains was discussed, Army sources said.
