CHIEF of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Thursday said the unrest in Bangladesh is a concern for India as the regime change there comes amid tensions on borders with other countries.

"India has its own share of security challenges; we have a proxy war waged by Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir, whose sudden escalation we are now seeing in south of Pir Panjal," General Chauhan said while speaking at the 'Ammo India' conference organised here by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).

"The prolonged border dispute with China is yet to abate.

There are two major security challenges that we face. The instability in our neighbourhood is another cause of concern for us," he said.
