The Northern Army Commander has responsibilities along borders facing both China and Pakistan. In this exclusive interview with Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale, Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi delves into issues involving the areas that face Pakistan first and then addresses those on the Chinese side.

The situation in Jammu and Kashmir reflects transformational changes that are noteworthy. Foremost amongst them, is the public apathy, bordering on hostility, towards terrorists in J&K. The abrogation of Article 370 and subsequent developmental projects is resulting in a swing in public perception that favours the government’s approach.

“J&K is now like any other normal state or a Union Territory but with a degree of caution,” says Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi.

The situation in Ladakh front and the Chinese threat, the situation is stable but not normal. Of the seven friction points, five have been settled. The trust has been broken and there is a requirement of rebuilding it, he says.
