NEW DELHI: Army chief General Manoj Pande on Saturday reviewed a major combat exercise in eastern Ladakh while taking stock of the operational preparedness along the frontier, even as Indian and Chinese troops disengage from the stand-off at Patrolling Point-15 in the larger Gogra-Hot Springs area.
On a two-day trip to the operational areas under the crucial Leh-based 14 Corps, Gen Pande visited ‘forward areas’ along the LAC on Saturday. He was briefed on the overall security situation as well as the disengagement process at PP-15 by top commanders, including Northern Command chief Lt-General Upendra Dwivedi and 14 Corps commander Lt-General Anindya Sengupta.
