DEFENCE Minister Rajnath Singh has said that disengagement and de-escalation is the way forward to deal with the current situation along the northern borders. He expressed confidence that while troops are standing firm, the ongoing talks for peaceful resolution will continue.
Addressing the Army Commanders Conference in New Delhi on April 2 , Singh lauded efforts of Army and security forces on the western borders. He highlighted the stellar role played by the Army in guarding country’s borders and fighting terrorism and providing assistance to the civil administration in hour of need.
“The Army is present in every domain from security, HADR, medical assistance to maintaining the stable internal situation in the country. The role of Indian Army is very important in nation building as also in the overall national development”, he said. He said synergised operations in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir are contributing to increased stability in the region and the same should continue.
Singh said that unconventional and asymmetric warfare, including hybrid war will be part of the future conventional wars. He appreciated the Army’s efforts to develop niche technologies in collaboration with civil industries.
During the Army Commanders’ Conference, Indian Army’s apex leadership deliberated upon all aspects of existing security scenarios, situation along the borders, in the hinterland and current challenges for the present security apparatus.
