India-China LAC standoff: Rajnath Singh, CDS Rawat, Army chief in Leh to review security
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, accompanied by Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and Army chief General MM Naravane arrived in Leh on Friday morning (today) for a day-long visit to carry out a comprehensive review of the security scenario in the region in wake of the border row with China.
Rajanth Singh will also visit Stakna and Lukung forward areas. Rajanth Singh's visit has come just weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a surprise move had visited forward areas in Leh, Ladakh to boost the confidence of armed forces amid China tension.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Ladakh on July 3 during which he also addressed troops and signalled the country's firmness in dealing with the India-China border row. Singh was originally scheduled to visit Ladakh on July 3 but the trip was deferred.
