New Delhi: In what is being seen as a stern warning to the Pakistan Army, new Indian Army Chief Gen. Dalbir Singh Suhag on Friday said the Indian Army’s response to any incident such as the beheading incident in January, 2013, of an Indian soldier at the LoC, would be “intense and immediate”.
“I can tell you that our response to any such act will be more than adequate in future. It will be intense and immediate,” Gen. Suhag said on Friday. Sources said the statement is indication that the Indian Army will not desist from hitting back strongly at the LoC in case of any provocation by the Pakistan Army.
Listing out his focus areas, Gen. Suhag said they “would be to enhance operational preparedness and the effectiveness of the Indian Army”.
“Force modernisation, infrastructure development, optimisation of human resources, welfare of serving personnel and ex-servicemen are issues that are very close to my heart,” he said, adding that he would do his best for the welfare of soldiers.
