NEW DELHI (TIP): Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat has said the Indian Army is prepared to face external as well as internal threats to the country. “The Indian Army is completely ready for a two-and-a-half front war,” said Rawat.
The Army chief added that though India is ready for a multi-front war, there are effective mechanisms to defuse an adverse situation. “Even the Prime Minister has said that for the last forty years not even a single bullet has been fired on the Indo-China border,” said General Rawat. He also said that a new strike unit, 17 Strike Corps, is being raised specifically for mountain warfare.
When asked about the delay in its raising, the Army chief said a process as complex as this takes time. “It is being raised from scratch. The recruitment is going on.
