Amid Ladakh Standoff : India is ready for full-fledged war

Amid the heightened tensions along the road of Actual Control in Ladakh, the Indian Army on Tuesday said it's fully ready for deployment within the tough winter months because it has stocked up all essential supplies including food items, clothing and fuel.

The Indian Army is fully ready and each jawan is getting best clothing, tentage, food etc, said Maj Gen Arvind Kapoor, Chief of Staff, 14 Corps.

"Our logistic infrastructure is so smartly built that any formation coming from outside, in 'Plug and Play' mode, can join the units here seamlessly and be effective. Today, each jawan deputed at the frontline has state of the art winter clothing and tentage," Maj Gen Kapoor said in Ladakh.

"Several depots are stocked up for the approaching winters. We send our supplies for the forward troops. This heating oil lubricant depot is that the largest and highest depot. The fuel sent from here is employed to stay the troops warm in weather conditions," Brigadier Rakesh Manocha told ANI.

Brigadier AS Rathore said Indian Army procures high-quality ration to supply high protein to soldiers who are deployed in high altitude.

"I also would really like to tell you that the size of this ration is that the same for each soldier irrespective their ranks. Also, we've received and stock all the ration that's required for the force deployed here in Ladakh," he said.

Multiple rounds of talks have also didn't yield any significant end in defusing the tensions and now the Indian side has prepared itself for future deployment within the high mountainous region.
