‘Army not mobilising troops on border’




New Delhi:


The Army is not mobilising troops on the border with Pakistan in the wake of Mumbai terror strikes, a senior Army official said on Sunday, scotching speculation in this regard.
“We have not received any orders from the government for moving our troops to the borders and there will be no [2002] Operation Parakram-like mobilisation,” the official told PTI here.
After the Parliament attack in December 2002, India had mobilised troops on the western front creating an eyeball-to-eyeball situation for 11 months but no war was fought.
The official also said the border ceasefire was well in place.
