The situation along the Line of Actual Control or LAC - de facto border between India and China - is "slightly tense", Army chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane said this morning, adding that "we have undertaken some precautionary deployments for our own safety and security". "We are sure that the problem can be resolved fully through talks," the Army chief said today, referring to the India-China border tensions.

His remarks come after the government said that Chinese troops engaged in "provocative action" at the south bank of Pangong Lake in eastern Ladakh last Saturday and again on Monday. China should "sincerely engage" with India to restore peace along the border through complete disengagement, the government said on Thursday.
