Normally,
a person with an average health takes at least two days to adapt the effect of
geographical and climatic changes especially in Leh’s height of over 11,000
feet. The entire area is enveloped with rarefied atmosphere, dry air and
ultra-violet rays from a blazing sun in cold desert Ladakh.
However, defying all physical odds, the
69-year old Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, landed up at Kushok Bakula Rimpochee
airport at Leh to be briefed about operational preparedness of the Indian
military against the aggressive Chinese People’s Liberation Army.
Accompanied by Chief of Defense Staff,
General Bipin Rawat, and Army Chief Manoj Mukund Naravane, PM Modi went
straight to XIV Corps headquarters at Nimu outside Leh to understand the
Chinese belligerence in Ladakh with Corps Commander Lt Gen Harinder Singh
briefing Narendra Modi in presence of Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Y K Joshi.
Information regarding PM Modi’s arrival
at the site was kept under wraps till he landed at the airport with the entire
coordination done by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Rawat and Naravane.
Doval, who came out of self-imposed isolation after two weeks, chose to remain
back in Delhi.
The presence of PM Modi in the Ladakh region has not only sent a huge signal to China that India means business and will not surrender even an inch of its territory but also to the local population with the head of government coming down to reassure them.
