At the India Today Conclave 2021, Chief of the Army Staff General MM Naravane said it is a matter of concern that the Chinese troops are building up the infrastructure and troops at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). He said, "If the Chinese are there to stay, we are there to stay too."

"It is a matter of concern that there is a large scale build-up taking place....there has been infrastructural build-up by the Chinese side and that means they are there to stay...If they are there to stay, we are there to stay too. The build up on our side and developments on our side, I would say are as good as what the PLA has done," General MM Naravane said on Saturday.
