RELOCATION OF TROOPS


RAJYA SABHA

The strategic relocation of troops is being carried out in a gradual manner without impairing the capacity to respond aggressively and decisively to any emergency and without lowering the vigil in Jammu and Kashmir. Consequently, some units and formations have been moved to peace locations.

This information was given by the Defence Minister Shri George Fernandes in a written reply to Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad in Rajya Sabha today.
