New Delhi, Jan 15: The Indian Army’s message is clear that it will not let any attempt to unilaterally change the status quo along the country’s borders succeed, Army Chief Gen M M Naravane said on Saturday.
In his address at the Army Day Parade here, he said last year was extremely challenging for the Army and cited the developments on the northern borders with China.
Army Day is observed on January 15 to mark Field Marshall K M Cariappa taking over as the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army, replacing his British predecessor in 1949.
Referring to the eastern Ladakh standoff, Gen Naravane also said that to keep the situation under control, the 14th round military-level talks were held between India and China recently. (PTI)
