Chinese Army exercises north of Arunachal | The Chinese Army is conducting exercises in areas adjoining Arunachal Pradesh. This was disclosed by Major General S.S. Jog, General Officer Commanding the
Red Horn Division, during a seminar on counter terrorism organised by the Army for
officers and allied personnel engaged in anti-insurgency operations in Guwahati on
Wednesday.
Apart from the serving officers, several retired personnel of the Indian Army and
para-military forces shared their views and expertise in counter-insurgency operations.
To a poser on intrusion by Chinese troops in the neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh state,
Major General S S Jog, General Office Commanding of the Red Horn Division, said:
“There is some sort of exercises, which they generally do during this particular time of the
year. They have done a few exercises and certain amounts of troops have come in but it's
normal routine exercise.”
There has been a flurry of reports in Indian media of Chinese incursions along the border --
shrugged off by both the Indian and Chinese governments.
Consequently, New Delhi protested against a Chinese Foreign Ministry''s policy of issuing
different visas to residents of disputed northern region of Jammu and Kashmir state.
Major General (retied) Gaganjit Singh said that although things have improved a lot in
Assam the ultimate peace is yet to return.
"The things have changed a lot. What it was in 10 years back it's not now today. Firstly, the
public of Assam have realised that insurgency has given them no benefit. That realisation is
a big achievement. Secondly, I can only say that ultimate peace has not come. It takes time
for everything," said Major General Singh. |
