NEW DELHI: Defence minister AK Antony on Tuesday discounted the possibility of Kargil-type operations in Arunachal Pradesh as apprehended by a minister of the state, saying the situation on the border was under constant monitoring and capabilities were being upgraded.
"Just as the other side (China) is
increasing their capabilities in our part, our Army and Air Force are steadily increasing their capabilities. So we are confident of protecting our interest in any territory. At the moment the border is peaceful," he told reporters. "We are closely monitoring the border situation. Our armed forces, especially Army, are constantly upgrading their capabilities in the eastern sector," he added.
