Army Chief General MM Naravane visited forward areas in Eastern Ladakh and reviewed the operational situation on the ground. Army Chief commended troops for their high morale and exhorted them to continue working with zeal and enthusiasm, the Army said.

The Army Chief on Tuesday reviewed India's military preparedness in eastern Ladakh as he began a two-day visit to the region where a border clash last week left 20 Indian soldiers dead in the midst of a tense standoff with the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Soon after arriving in Leh, Gen Naravane visited an Army hospital where 18 soldiers injured in the clash in Galwan Valley on June 15 are undergoing treatment, Army officials said. The Chief of the Army Staff interacted with almost all the injured soldiers and complimented them for their bravery, they added.
