War In Europe, Chinese Deployment Present Different Challenge: CDS Chauhan
Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Tuesday said that the war in Europe, the deployment of China's PLA along the northern borders and political and economic turmoil in the immediate neighbourhood all present a different kind of challenge for the Indian military.
However, he said the armed forces are committed to maintain the legitimacy of India's claims and peace and stability in the region.

Speaking at the passing out parade of the 144th course of NDA in Pune, Chauhan said, "We are living in a time when the global security situation is not at its best and the international geopolitical order is in a state of flux. The war in Europe, the continued deployment of PLA in strength along our northern borders, and political and economic turmoil in our immediate neighbourhood all present a different form of challenge to Indian military."
"The Armed forces are committed to maintaining the legitimacy of our claims on the LoC and playing a constructive role in maintaining peace and stability not only in our immediate but also extended neighbourhood," he added.
"We are also witnessing a new revolution in military affairs mostly driven by technology. The armed forces of India are also on the path of major transformation jointness, integration and creation of theaterised commands are on the anvil," Chauhan said.
"PLA deployment on the northern borders is not increasing day by day, it is at the same level as it was in 2020. So there is a challenge and the armed forces are taking all kinds of steps so that there is no untoward situation...We have been able to get back to all places except 2-Depsang and Demchok and negotiations are on," he added.
