Situation along LAC stable but we need to keep very close watch: Army Chief Gen Pande

New Delhi: The situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China is stable but there is a need to keep a very close watch on it, Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande said on Friday amid the nearly three-year-long border row in eastern Ladakh.

In an interactive session at the India Today Conclave, Gen Pande said the Indian Army



has a robust deployment of troops all along the LAC besides having adequate reserves to deal with any contingencies.

"Overall, I would say that the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is stable but we need to keep a very close watch on the situation as it develops," he said.
