On the Shaurya Divas program in Srinagar, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated, “We have just begun walking north, our journey will be complete when we implement the resolution passed unanimously by the Indian Parliament on February 22, 1994, by reaching the Gilgit-Baltistan.” This statement was made in reference to Pakistan.
The General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Chinar Cops, ADS Aujla, recently spoke with media persons in Srinagar at 15 Corps headquarters about the Defence Minister's remarks and the current situation in Kashmir and on the Border.
General Aujla said, “whenever the Central Government takes such a decision, orders will come to us and in such a situation, we are fully prepared. Apart from our conventional strength, we are also strengthening ourselves modernly, so that we do not have to look back in such a situation.”
He added that the Indian Army's capacities and capacities have improved over the past 75 years. He said: We are well-prepared, and you will notice a very different impact anytime it is required to be displayed.
General Aujla stated: Right now, the situation is entirely under control, but attempts to infiltrate will occur anytime there is a chance, but the Indian Army is ready with full force to protect our border.
General Aujla responded to a question regarding the situation following the announcement of the cease-fire and the repeal of Article 370 by saying: It has been a very good year in light of the restoration of peace in the valley, showing the lowest infiltration in 32 years. In this entire year up until the month of October, only eight terrorists tried to infiltrate, out of whom three were eliminated.
“Although all efforts are on their side. A few days ago only, we foiled an infiltration bid in the Tangadhar sector. But the situation is very different now in comparison to past years. Now Development works are being done in the valley. Most of the terrorists who sheltered them have been eliminated or they have distanced themselves from this work,” he added.
