Efforts on to resolve LAC row, situation under control along LoC: Rajnath

Peace not possible without power, Defence Minister says in address to forces

In Eastern Ladakh, efforts are being made to resolve the differences on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) through dialogue with China while situation along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir remained under control in the last one year “due to our vigilance and indomitable valour”, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Saturday. “The process of disengagement has been completed at some places,” Mr. Singh said on the standoff in the customary address to the armed forces on the eve of Independence Day. On the situation along the LoC, the Minister said, “Ceasefire violations have also come down since February 2021. The infiltration from across the border has stopped due to vigilance of the Armed Forces and para-military forces.”
