Fifty thousand soldiers deployed on China border

No soldiers to stop terrorist activities in Jammu-Kashmir and Assam

New Delhi – Army Chief Gen. Manoj Pande reviewed the security situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in view of the Chinese threat for which the Indian Army has shifted six Divisions in Ladakh which were earlier deployed in counter-terrorism roles and after taking care of Pakistan front. Therefore, around 50 thousand soldiers are being deployed on the India–China border. When such a big Army is engaged to protect the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the efforts to infiltrate are bound to foil.

Editorial viewpoints

• Indian Government should develop a strategy having realised that Pakistan, involved in promoting terrorism, should be destroyed.
  

• China is very cautious in taking steps realising the Indian prowess in the last few years. Therefore, the expectations are that efforts should be put in now to pressurise China mentally with extra power.
