The Army Chief, Gen Manoj Pandey, has stated that the Army is going through a transition phase.
He said the Army was fast moving towards becoming self-reliant in manufacturing ordnance and had made unprecedented progress in tank upgrade and light tank manufacturing in a short span of time.
Speaking at a function at the Suratgarh Military Station yesterday, he said from Ladakh to the borders of the North-East, the Army was fully alert and ready to deal with any kind of challenge.
