Jammu(Agencies):On the
second and concluding day of his two-day-long visit to Ladakh, Army chief Gen
MM Naravane on Wednesday visited eastern Ladakh, the theatre of the fierce
standoff between Indian and Chinese troops.
Gen Naravane, during his
interaction with the soldiers on the sandy soil of the cold desert, commended
the valour of the soldiers deployed on the frontlines amid harsh weather
conditions and challenging terrain.

‘hero of Galwan’ Col Babu
His visit to eastern Ladakh,
where the Chinese troops had challenged the perceptive Line of Actual Control,
is being seen as a significant gesture towards the soldiers. At the same time
it has sent a strong message across the LAC that the country’s military
leadership stands in solidarity with the jawans.
It was after the June 15
violent clashes at Galwan Valley where Chinese troops had sought to
unilaterally alter the LAC that the tensions had peaked, and the two sides had
solidified their positions in the eastern Ladakh LAC.
Gen Naravane had landed at the
headquarters of 14 Corps, known as Fire and Fury Corp, on Monday to review the
situation and the operational preparedness of the troops.
14 Corps was set up within months
of the Kargil war to effectively guard the borders that run up to heights of
12,000 to 14,000 plus feet above sea level.
