he Indian Army has said that it is well prepared to face any kinds of threats on the Indo-China border especially in Arunachal Pradesh. We have this report by Pradeep Pareek from Rangapahar Military Station in Nagaland. General Officer Commanding of the 3 Corps of the Indian Army Lt Gen N K Singh has said that there was nothing to worry about any Chinese threat as the Indian Army is adequately prepared to meet the challenges. He said that the element of military preparedness is very much there in Arunachal. Replying to a query by NETV on the locations and bad road conditions in Tawang-Bumla sector of Arunachal Pradesh, the General Officer said that such roads can be of advantage as well as disadvantage, but for the Indian army they have the adequate infrastructure if any threat comes from across the border. He said the terrain on the Chinese side may be better for transportation unlike the rugged terrain in the Indian side of Bumla, but this does not mean that it would hamper military activities. Replying to queries about arms smuggling along the Indo-Myamnar and Indo-China borders, Lt Gen Singh said that the clandestine activities of gun-running has been continuing from across the border, but there is no official confirmation of the respective government’s involvement in it. He said that arms smuggling has been reduced considerably. He also announced the raising of a Naga battalion, which will be completed within the next six months. When asked by NETV about the media reports claiming the presence of ULFA Chief Paresh Baruah somewhere near Manipur-Myanmar border, the GOC said that the whereabouts and location of Paresh Baruah is still not known. It is to be mentioned that union home secretary GK Pillai, during his visit to Nagaland a couple of days ago, admitted that the militant groups of the Northeast are receiving arms from China. But he however denied any knowledge about the China government’s involvement in this.
