Apart from the serving officers, several retired personnel of the Indian Army and para-military forces shared their views and expertise in counter-insurgency operations.
To a poser on intrusion by Chinese troops in the neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh state, Major General S S Jog, General Office Commanding of the Red Horn Division, said: “There is some sort of exercises, which they generally do during this particular time of the year. They have done a few exercises and certain amounts of troops have come in but its normal routine exercise.”
There has been a flurry of reports in Indian media of Chinese incursions along the border -- shrugged off by both the Indian and Chinese governments.
Consequently, New Delhi protested against a Chinese Foreign Ministry's policy of issuing different visas to residents of disputed northern region of Jammu and Kashmir state.
Major General (retied) Gaganjit Singh said that although things have improved a lot in Assam, the ultimate peace is yet to return.
"The things have changed a lot. What it was in 10 years back it's not now today. Firstly, the public of Assam have realised that insurgency has given them no benefit. That realisation is a big achievement. Secondly, I can only say that ultimate peace has not come. It takes time for everything," said Major General Singh.

prime minister of india and dalai lama should visit arunachal frequently and red horn division or any troops likely to be deployed against red army must be re-armed with top class weapons, logistics and food and support to army families , the entire indian army must be rotated at chinese border, so that they become aquanted and thus are immunised against any weakness.once an enemy always likely will be an enemy unless you disfigure them for ever , no one understands language of peace .people only understand brute force

For gods sake! This is getting really tiring! I will guarantee you that if we convict one of the politicians and take back the money stolen in scams, its enough to fund not just the military, civilian governments and also 10 generations of people living in Arunachal Pradesh. Will the Indian government stop "shrugging" their shoulders and do something concrete so that these silly Chinese can stop their antics??? BTW.. take it in writing.. the Chinese will not dare.. yes DARE to attack India. Let me remind these dumb Chinese that this is not 1962. If these morons ever attack I will join the Indian Army.

this is prelude to a forthcoming war in few years or less. our government is making biggest of their lifetime like nehru did by discounting this excercise as routine. what can be expected from the government and opposition as they are busy infighting, filling their private coffers, making useless foreign trips. only god can save india from these feral politicians.
