The CDS also warned Pakistan. He said that by taking advantage of the atmosphere of tension with China, if Pakistan did anything, it would have to suffer a huge loss. Pakistan is fully prepared to respond to any action. General Rawat also referred to Pakistan’s antics to promote terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.

Referring to the current security challenges facing India, General Rawat said that India is facing very complex challenges, ranging from nuclear to other conventional threats. He said, “China’s increasing interference in East, South and South-East Asia and Indian Ocean region activities and non-traditional threats like piracy, maritime terrorism, human trafficking and bioterrorism are directly affecting India’s interests. ‘
Meanwhile, Army Chief General Manoj Mukund Narwane has arrived on his two-day visit to Ladakh. According to sources, the Army Chief is visiting for a comprehensive review of the security situation in the region, keeping in mind China’s efforts to change the status quo around the southern coast of Pegong Lake.
The top commander of the army, who is overseeing the deployment of troops in the region, will inform Army Chief Narwane about India’s readiness for the latest situation. Tensions in the Pegong Lake area had increased in the past, when China tried to capture some places, which was thwarted by the army.
