Chinese deployment in forward areas, a matter of concern, says Army Chief

Deployment of PLA across Eastern Ladakh and Northern front remains a matter of concern for the Indian Army, said Chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane on October 2.

“Chinese troops have deployed in considerable numbers all across Eastern Ladakh and Northern front right up to our Eastern command. Definitely, there has been an increase in their deployment in the forward areas which remains a matter of concern for us. We are regularly monitoring all their movements. Based on inputs we get, we are also carrying out matching developments both in infrastructure as well in terms of troops that are needed to counter any threat. At the moment, we're quite well poised to meet any eventuality,” he added.
