In his annual Army Day press conference, Gen Dwivedi also pointed out that the Army Headquarters has empowered the Corps Commanders to deal with trivial issues on their own to avoid making them a big issue.

"It is stable but sensitive. There have been a series of meetings. Even the Prime Minister has met the Chinese head...Coming on to Depsang and Demchok, April 2029 onwards, both sides had moved forward and stopped the other side from going to the traditional areas where they were carrying out the patrolling," he said while answering queries from ANI.
