Defence preparedness got huge impetus after renewed ceasefire along LoC: Lt Gen Aujla

Chinar Corps Commander Lt Gen ADS Aujla spoke on the present condition of Kashmir in Srinagar on October 31.

Lt Gen ADS Aujla said a lot of parameters are showing signs of normalcy in Kashmir Valley and the overall defence preparedness of the Indian Army has increased. He said, “A lot of parameters are showing signs of normalcy and the challenge for us is to ensure that we are able to sustain this ceasefire and phase of normalcy that we are seeing on a daily basis.”

“We have seen a huge influx of tourists and a lot of developmental activities have taken place. In terms of terror action, we have come down heavily on them. As far as terrorist regimes are concerned, their entire leadership has been wiped out and things are much better. Overall defence preparedness of the Indian Army has gotten a huge kind of impetus in the last 20 months. Readiness and defence preparedness is at a very good level and if any opportunity comes where it is needed to be displayed, a very different impact of it will be seen” he further added.
