Srinagar: The Army on Tuesday said it was prepared to give an appropriate response to any adverse aggressive designs of China in the Ladakh sector, maintaining that the integrity of the country was being ensured through physical patrolling and technical means.
“On the LAC, our response to Chinese attempts to unilaterally change the status quo was a swift, undaunted, and synergized action by the Indian Armed Forces,” general officer commanding in chief of the Army’s Northern Command, Lt. General Upendra Dwivedi, said at an investiture ceremony at Badami Bagh Cantonment area here, as per Kashmir Despatch.
“Any negative aggressive designs or attempts will undoubtedly be met with appropriate force posture and a strong intent with complete synergy among the three services,” he said.
He said measures to resolve the Line of Actual Control (LAC) situation at diplomatic and operational levels are also simultaneously underway.
“We are maintaining a constant vigil, monitoring all developments, and will take all necessary steps to protect our national interests,” he said.
The Army commander said the army is prepared to meet any challenges in the future and will always work for the betterment of the people of the region.
