Pakistan ramping up troops along LoC normal, we are prepared: Army Chief Bipin Rawat

Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat has downplayed Pakistan’s deployment of additional troops along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir over the last few days as a normal procedure and asserted that Indian troops are prepared to deal with any security challenge in the region.

He added that every country takes precautionary measures and there is no reason to worry about the deployment of additional forces by Pakistan along LoC.

“That’s normal. Everybody does precautionary deployment and movement of precautionary resources. We should not get too concerned about it,” PTI quoted Gen Rawat as saying during the sidelines of an event in the national capital.
