Army Chief Gen MM Naravane reviewed India's operational readiness along the boundary with China in the Arunachal Pradesh sector during a two-day visit to the Northeastern region that began on Thursday. His visit to the region came amid the Indian Army's continued standoff with the Chinese military in some of the friction points in eastern Ladakh. Officials said Gen Naravane arrived at Dimapur in Nagaland on Thursday to review the operational readiness along the Northern borders of Arunachal Pradesh and the security situation in the hinterland in the Northeastern region. "On arrival at the Corps headquarters in Dimapur, the Army Chief was briefed by Lt Gen Johnson Mathew, General Officer Commanding of Spear Corps and the Division Commanders on the prevailing situation and operational preparedness along the Northern borders," the Army said. It said the Chief of Army Staff complimented all ranks for maintaining excellent vigil and exhorted them to stay alert and keep watch on activities along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). On Friday, Gen Naravane reviewed the security situation in the hinterland of the North East and along the India-Myanmar borders and exhorted all the personnel to keep working with the same zeal and enthusiasm. Two days ago, the Chief of Army Staff had said that the Army will maintain an enhanced presence on the entire northern front from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh till "de-escalation" is achieved. In view of the border row with China in eastern Ladakh, the Army last year significantly ramped up deployment of troops in all sensitive areas along the nearly 3,500-km-long Line of Actual Control (LAC) including in the Sikkim and Arunachal sectors The Indian Air Force (IAF) also deployed additional fighter jets and attack helicopters in key bases looking after the airspace along the LAC in the Arunachal sector. India and China were locked in a military standoff at multiple friction points in eastern Ladakh since early May last year but they have completed the withdrawal of troops and weapons from the North and South banks of Pangong lake in February following a series of military and diplomatic talks. The two sides are now engaged in talks to extend the disengagement process to the remaining friction points. There was no visible forward movement in disengagement of troops in the remaining friction points as the Chinese side did not show flexibility in their approach on it at the 11th round of military talks with the Indian Army on April 9. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said the relationship between India and China is at a crossroads and its direction depends on whether the neighbouring country adheres to various agreements on maintaining peace and tranquillity along the border. "I think the relationship is at a crossroads and which direction we go depends on whether the Chinese side would adhere to the consensus; whether it would follow through on the agreements which we both have done... What is very clear in the last year is that border tensions cannot continue with cooperation in other areas," he said.

काठमाडाैँ, २६ भाद्रः भारत र चीनबीच सीमाको वास्तविक नियन्त्रण रेखा (एलएसी) मा जारी तनाव न्यूनीकरण गर्ने विषयमा दुवै देशका विदेशमन्त्रीबीच भेटवार्ता भएको छ । रुसको मस्कोमा आयोजित सांघाई कोअपरेसन अर्गनाइजेसन (एससीओ) को सम्मेलनमा सहभागी हुन पुगेका भारतीय विदेशमन्त्री एस जयशंकर र चिनियाँ समकक्षी वाङ यीबीच बिहीबार राति वार्ता भएको हो । वार्ताको क्रममा लद्दाखमा एलएसीमा जारी तनाव कम गर्न दुवै देशबीच पाँच बुँदे सहमति भएको बताइएको छ। बिहीबार भएको बैठक करीब तीन घण्टा चलेको थियो । भारतीय समाचार एजेन्सी एएनआईका अनुसार, भारतीय विदेशमन्त्री जयशंकरले भारत एलएसीमा भइरहेको तनाव थप बढाउन नचाहने स्पष्ट पारेका छन् । यस्तै, चीनप्रति भारतको नीतिमा कुनै परिवर्तन नआएको र भारतप्रति चीनको नीतिमा पनि सोही अपेक्षा गरेको पनि उनले बताए । चिनियाँ विदेश मन्त्रालयले छिमेकी देश हुनुको नाताले चीन र भारतबीच केही विषयमा असहमति हुनु स्वाभाविक भएको र ती असहमतिलाई वस्तुगत रुपमा हेरिनुपर्ने बताएको छ । चिनियाँ विदेश मन्त्रालयलाई उद्धृत गर्दै एएनसआईले लेखेको छ, “चिनियाँ विदेशमन्त्री वाङ यीले चीन र भारतको सम्बन्धमा केही असमझदारी उत्पन्न भएको छ, तर जबसम्म दुवै पक्ष आफ्नो सम्बन्धलाई सही दिशमामा बढाइरहन्छन्, तबसम्म कुनै समस्या आउँदैन र समाधान गर्न नसकिने कुनै चुनौती पनि हुँदैन।” गत साता भारतीय रक्षामन्त्री राजनाथ सिंहले मस्कोमै एससीओ बैठकको दौरान चिनियाँ समकक्षीसँग भेटवार्ता गरेका थिए । उक्त वार्तापछि चाँडै दुवै देशका विदेशमन्त्रीको पनि बैठक हुने बताइएको थियो । भारत र चीनबीच सीमाको तनाव मत्थर गर्न एलएसीमा पनि सैन्य तहमा संवाद चलिरहेको छ । बिहीबार दुवै सेनाका बीच ब्रिगेडियर स्तरमा कुराकानी भएको थियो । यसअघि दुवै देशबीच लेफ्टिनेन्ट जनरलको तहमा संवाद भएको थियो । तर, तनाव कम गर्नमा त्यसबाट प्रगति हन सकेन । भारत र चीनले एक-अर्का देशका सेनाले एलएसी पार गरेको र उक्साएको आरोप-प्रत्यारोप लगाउँदै आएका छन् ।
