The Home Minsiter in his visit said "Today, we say with pride that gone are the days when anybody could encroach on India's land. Today, we can proudly say that no one can encroach even a tip of a pin's worth of our land because ITBP and Indian Army are present at our borders".


India has, last month as well, conducted another rapid mobility exercise codenamed 'Vayu Prahaar' in the Eastern sector, where the Air Force and Army again jointly practiced moving a large number of troops close to LAC in a short period.
