Kupwara: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh visited forward post near the Line of Control (LoC) in Kupwara district.
He visited a forward post near LoC in Kupwara District of Jammu-Kashmir today and interacted with the soldiers deployed there.
We are extremely proud of these brave and courageous soldiers who are defending our country in every situation, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Said.
Singh was accompanied Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and and Army Chief General MM Naravane.
While Pakistan constantly violates ceasefire from across the LoC, China has continued to intrude into Indian territory in Ladakh region in recent past, escalating tensions between India and its eastern neighbour.
On June 15, twenty Indian soldiers laid out their lives during combat with Chinese forces in Galwan valley, leading to tensions between both nations. Chinese soldiers subsequently started moving back following dialogues between two countries through the military level and diplomatic level.
