BELAGAVI: Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said today that both Indian and Chinese troops were present in Doklam, but were not in an "eyeball-to-eyeball" contact.
General Rawat said there had been a disengagement of troops of both countries in Doklam, where the two sides were locked in a stand-off that ended in August. "There has been a disengagement on the condition that we will both disengage so that there is no face-to-face contact. So, that disengagement has taken place," he said.
"The PLA (People's Liberation Army) is still at Doklam, but they are at a reasonable distance from us and we are not in eyeball-to-eyeball contact," the Army chief said.
He was speaking to reporters after honouring 23rd and 24th battalions of the Maratha Light Infantry at a glittering ceremony here today.
There was a military stand-off between India and China at Doklam on the tri-junction of the Indian, Chinese and Bhutanese borders but it had ended after 71 days in August.
On Jammu and Kashmir, he said there has been no violation of human rights in that state by the Army but it has taken stringent action whenever such incidents occurred.
The Army chief said no one would be spared in case of violation of human rights.
Asked about reports about rise in recruitments of Kashmiri youths by terrorist groups since 2013 and resentment against the Army, he said some youths are carried away by wrong conceptions due to social media.
