Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi on Wednesday said the situation along the northern border is stable but at the same time sensitive, asserting that "whatever was done in Galwan should not get repeated". He also said that his force is fully ready and capable to deal with any situation. In his address at the 77th Army Day celebrations in Pune, the Army chief underlined that special attention has been given to develop modern equipment and critical infrastructure at the northern border.General Dwivedi also emphasised that in internal security, the forces continue to bring stability across India, contributing to a safer and stronger nation. He mentioned that as India moves towards becoming a 'Developed India', the role of the Indian Army remains pivotal.Earlier, General Dwivedi took the salute during the spectacular parade, which was commanded by Major General Anurag Vij, the General Officer Commanding, Dhakshin Maharashtra and Goa Sub Area.
In a remarkable display of technological advancement, a platoon of robotic dogs—also known as Multi-Utility Legged Equipment (MULEs)—took center stage during the Army Day march. The Indian Army recently added 100 of these robotic dogs to its arsenal, designed to enhance operational capabilities, especially in difficult terrains, while reducing the risks faced by human soldiers.
