The situation along the LAC is “stable but unpredictable” says the Army chief

Army chief General, Manoj Pande on Saturday said that China does quite differently from what it says, and thus India needs to focus on Chinese actions rather than “what is there in their written texts or scripts or their articulation”.

The Army chief said the situation in eastern Ladakh is “stable but unpredictable”, revealing that in spite of the onset of winter, there is no significant reduction in the Chinese Army’s force levels on the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

As far as PLA’s force levels are concerned, there has been no significant reduction, he said referring to the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

General Pande further said that there is a need “to very carefully calibrate our actions on LAC (Line of Actual Control) to be able to safeguard our interests and sensitivities”.

Talking about infrastructure development by China along the LAC, he said that it was going on unabated. The Army chief, while speaking about the use of new drone technology, said that the army is working in the field of artificial intelligence and is making a good headway.

The Army chief made the remarks while addressing the ‘Chanakya Dialogues‘, organized by Delhi-based think-tank Chanakya Forum, at India International Centre.
