Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi described the situation across the Line of Actual Control (LAC) as “sensitive but stable” while speaking on the ongoing disengagement efforts along the India-China border. Addressing a press conference ahead of the Army Day on Monday, he highlighted that patrolling and grazing activities in traditional areas such as Depsang and Demchok in eastern Ladakh are now proceeding as per the routine.
However, Gen Dwivedi said there is still a degree of standoff in the region and efforts are needed to restore trust between the Indian and the Chinese militaries. He stressed that India won’t reduce troops along China border until trust is restored.
On the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, General Dwivedi stated that while the region remains stable and under control, infiltration attempts from across the border continue.
General Upendra Dwivedi outlined his vision for transforming the Indian Army into a future-ready and self-reliant force.
He linked these efforts to India’s goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, saying, “Our lines of efforts as regards the developed nation by 2047 are truly aligned.”
