Threat from China has not reduced: Army chief on Border row

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Army Chief General MM Naravane on Wednesday said that “We have continued to maintain the highest level of operational preparedness while at the same time engaging with Chinese PLA in dialogue.

Necessary safeguards are in place to take care of any contingencies. Upgradation and development of infrastructure along northern borders has been carried out in a holistic and comprehensive manner,” General Naravane said.
