"Strong And Tall" In Face Of Challenges On "Active, Unsettled" Borders: Army Chief

Army chief General Naravane said he has always maintained that wars are not fought between two armies, but they are waged between two nations.

Army chief General M M Naravane on Friday said the Indian Army stands "strong and tall" in the face of challenges faced on both "active and unsettled" west and north borders where exigencies have increased during the coronavirus pandemic. General Naravane said he has always maintained that wars are not fought between two armies, but they are waged between two nations. His remarks came on a day when the Indian Army said that Indian and Chinese armies have completed the disengagement process and restored the pre-stand-off ground position in the Gogra friction point in eastern Ladakh. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the golden jubilee celebrations (1971-2021) of the Television Wing of the Film and Television Institute of India, General Naravane hailed the role of mainstream cinema in reinforcing core values, preserving the diverse culture of the country and galvanising it in times of crisis.
