Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has said that the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China is stable but not normal. Speaking at the Chanakya Defence Dialogue in New Delhi today, the Army Chief said that India wants to restore the situation to its pre April 2020 status, before the military standoff that began in May 2020.

He  added that this would involve returning to the conditions that existed in terms of ground occupation, buffer zones, and patrols. General Upendra Dwivedi  said, until this restoration is achieved, the situation will continue to be sensitive and India is fully operationally prepared to face any kind of contingency.
