Know General Bipin Rawat's opinion on PoK | Ghanti Bajao

Former Army Chief General Bipin Rawat (retd) took charge as the first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) on Wednesday. On challenges the Indian armed forces are facing at the Line of Actual Control on the China front, he said that all challenges would be dealt with through integration and synergy.

He also stressed that striving for joint theatre command will be his mandate. "Methods of theaterisation can be different. We don't need to follow the western model, we can have our own way. We need to study with all three services. We will have our own system that suits us," General Rawat added.
