Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan said on Saturday (October 11, 2025) that Uttarakhand, being a border state, is a strategically very sensitive and important state and there is a need to be alert and cautious on the China border.

Addressing a rally of ex-servicemen here, General Chauhan said that Uttarakhand has a 350 km border with China and 275 km border with Nepal, which makes the state sensitive and strategically important from the security point of view.

India needs to remain alert on LAC

He said, ‘Uttarakhand’s border with China is very quiet and hence sometimes we forget that Uttarakhand is a border state. We should keep in mind that we have some differences with China regarding LAC (Line of Control) and border and sometimes these come to the fore, like in the Barahoti area. For this reason we all have to be alert and cautious.

Chief of Defense Staff appealed to the people of the border areas to actively participate in the security of the border and said that monitoring the borders is not only the responsibility of the army, but the awareness of the local people is also equally important.

CDS recited the famous dialogue of the film ‘Aankhen’

Describing the people living in border areas, especially ex-servicemen, as ‘eyes’, the CDS said that if they remain alert, the borders will remain even stronger. On this occasion, he also recited the famous dialogue of the film ‘Aankhen’, ‘No one can touch the borders of that country, which is guarded by the eyes’.

General Chauhan also said that on the lines of the way cooperative societies supply food to the Army in Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh, now this system will be started in Uttarakhand also. He said that at present the products related to dairy and animal husbandry are being taken from cooperative societies and in the coming time, fresh ration will also be taken from them. This will not only ensure smooth supply of goods to the border areas, but will also provide economic benefits to the local people.

Commissioned in 1981, Gen Chauhan has had a distinguished…

– Ministry of Defense, Government of India (@SPOKESPERSONMOD) September 24, 2025

By posing a Lieutenant General Rank officer as Chief of Defense Staff, the government not only provided the rank of General after retirement but also appointed the country’s largest military commander. General Chauhan, who joined the Indian Army (Army) in the year 1981, has served on staff and command posts in different parts of the country.

Before him (now late) General Bipin Rawat was appointed by the government on 30 December 2019. But in the year 2021, General Rawat lost his life in a helicopter accident with 13 military officers, including his wife. General Rawat was the first defense head (CDS) of the country.

The government had created the post of CDS so that, separate commands of all three wings of the army i.e. Army, Air Force and Navy can be integrated and made the theater command. The jointness and integration of the government’s armed forces was a deep setback due to the untouchable death of General Rawat. But General Chauhan came and worked to advance this vision.

The Army and the Navy are ready to integrate the armed forces but have been objected by the Air Force. In such a situation, preparing the Air Force for the theater command before the government can prove to be a crooked kheer. This is the reason that the government has extended the tenure of General Chauhan till May 2026 so that sharing and integration can be strengthened before making the theater command.

At the recent Combined Commanders Conference held in Kolkata, Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing all the top commanders of the armed forces, described self -reliance, jointness and innovation as the mantra of victory.

India’s Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan said in Gorakhpur on Friday (September 05, 2025) that India’s border dispute with China is one of the biggest challenges for the country. At the same time, Pakistan’s continuous attack against India is the next big issue. The aim of Pakistan has always been to bled India by giving a thousand wounds.

Addressing a gathering, he said that the challenges in front of the country do not remain for a short time, they are present in many ways. I believe that India’s dispute with China is the biggest challenge, which will continue. There is also a challenge that the rules of war have changed, now cyber and space are also included in it.

Chief of Defense Staff spoke on Operation Sindoor

Anil Chauhan further said that both our rival countries are nuclear power and it is always difficult to decide what kind of campaign should be run against them. Talking about Operation Sindoor, he said that in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir had targeted the infrastructure.

He said that during the action of Operation Sindoor, the armed forces were completely independent, including planning and selecting targets. Our aim was not to take revenge on the terrorists, but the only objective, ‘Draw the boundary line of patience’.

UP CM arrived with CDS Chauhan

CDS General Chauhan arrived in Gorkhapur, where the Gorkha War Memorial was renovated and the foundation stone of the Gorkha Museum was laid. Anil Chauhan arrived here with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

‘Indian Army made accurate attacks’

Addressing a program at Pune University, CDS Anil Chauhan said that the Indian armed forces launched very carefully on Pakistani bases. He said, Pakistan had planned to retaliate against India for 48 hours, but all their planning collapsed in 8 hours.

‘Pakistan collapsed within 8 hours’

The CDS said that Pakistan targeted India to defeat India in 48 hours at around 1 pm on 10 May. He said, “Pakistan felt that its campaign would run for 48 hours, but he gave up in eight hours and he started expressing his desire to talk.”

He said that the thinking behind Operation Sindoor was that the state sponsored terrorism from Pakistan should be tightened and that country cannot be allowed to make India hostage of terrorism. He said, “Whatever happened in Pahalgam was a great cruelty. India is no longer in the shadow of terrorism and nuclear blackmail.”

‘India’s tolerance has a limit’

Warning Pakistan, General Anil Chauhan said that India’s tolerance has a limit. He again reiterated that the losses on professional military forces have no effect. The CDS said, “Disadvantages are not important in war, but the results are important. As far as our opponent is concerned, it has decided to shed blood by giving a thousand wounds to India. India has shown the limit of tolerance from Operation Sindoor.”

Pakistan’s conspiracy against India

Pakistan repeatedly conspires against India. 26 people died in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. India took its operation from vermilion and killed more than 100 terrorists.

UNCS proposals can also be resolved. ”

The Congress is an attack on the Modi government on the statement of Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan regarding Operation Sindoor. Congress General Secretary and MP Jairam Ramesh has accused the government of not taking transparency in the matter of informing the government on Sunday (June 01, 2025).

In a conversation with news agency ANI, Jairam Ramesh questioned that why have we had to wait till now about the revelations made by General Chauhan in Singapore?

Congress accused the government of not taking transparency
The Congress MP said that it would have been better when Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had held an all -party meeting. At the same time, they should have given information and the government should have informed the Parliament of the country about this, because India is considered the mother of democracy.

Congress attacker over CDS Anil Chauhan’s statement
Jairam Ramesh’s statement came after the statement of CDS General Anil Chauhan in which he told the news agency Reuters during the Shangri-Lay talk in Singapore that the Indian armed forces had to bear the loss at the beginning of Operation Sindoor.

Congress on CDS Anil Chauhan Remarks: The Congress party has questioned the central government about the statement of CDS Anil Chauhan, in which they said that it is not important that the aircraft were dropped but why they fall? On the matter, the Congress said that the CDS has accepted the matter of falling Rafael. Now the government should stop denying this. At the same time, the opposition party demanded to set up a review committee.

The Congress held a press conference and raised the issue of damage related to Rafael through CDS’s statement. Uttam Reddy, a minister in the Telangana government and former pilot of the Indian Air Force, said, “Now when the CDS has accepted the fall of our Rafael itself, the government should also stop refusing.” When the CDS said the same thing, Rahul Gandhi said that he was targeted.

‘Transparency should be shown about what happened’

The Congress has demanded that instead of denying, the government should review the whole matter and in fact, there should be transparency about what happened. The Congress also said that the statement made by the Indian Air Force head Air Chief Marshal AP Singh about the delay in delivery of fighter aircraft is really worrying. The Government of India should take appropriate steps regarding this.

‘When Congress raised the same question, he told anti -national’

Congress leader Uttam Reddy said that what CDS Anil Chauhan has said is a serious matter. The government should clarify. When the Congress raised the same question, it was alleged that anti -national. Now the CDS has said this. Regarding the fall of our fighter aircraft, now when the CDS has said, the government should review the entire technology.

Uttam Reddy said that any government should be transparent. The Gandhi family sacrificed for the country. Surprisingly, we are questioned. We are proud of our Air Force. We destroyed the airport of Pakistan, but the loss that our loss should also be brought out. This does not matter to morale. We are not doing any politics on this.

Cds anil chauhan on operation sindoor: The Indian Army was completely rational during Operation Sindoor, so the question of nuclear war does not arise. Because there is no argument of nuclear war in undeclared war. This is to say of the CDS General of the country Anil Chauhan.

General Chauhan’s statement came at a time when US President Donald Trump has linked the end of the military conflict between India and Pakistan to the nuclear war. Addressing selected military commanders and global think-tank members from all over the world during the ‘Shangri-La Dialogue’ in Singapore, Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Chauhan said that without cared for military confrontation with Pakistan, the Indian Army (Thal Army and Navy) was completely clear and independent. The theme of this address was ‘Future Wars and Warfare’.

Know what General Anil Chauhan said

The CDS stated that Operation Sindoor “was a non-contact, multi-domain military confrontation that included kinetic and non-science elements.” General Chauhan said that Operation Sindoor reflects the wars of the near future.

General Chauhan said that modern warfare has a ‘complex convergence’ of domains like land, air, maritime, cyber and space as well as tectical strategies. The CDS said that it is very important in this scenario that Battalfield should be ‘demonified’ ie the battlefield and the force should be used separately. Also, it is necessary to move from large stable military platforms to flexible, misleading strategies. The CDS emphasized real time ‘networking’ for all these domains and strategies.

It took 15 percent time to counter fake news

The CDS said that during Operation Sindoor, 15 percent of the operations took place to counter fake-news. In such a situation, a separate unit is needed for information warfare. But General Chauhan
That “our strategy emphasized fact-based communication, even if it means a slow response.”

General Chauhan said that at the beginning of the operation, two female officers (Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh) worked as a spokesperson while senior leadership was engaged in operations. Only after May 10, DGMO briefed the media.

Pakistan’s Pakistan did not find evidence to help

General Chauhan clearly stated that even though Pakistan has taken the help of China’s commercial satellite, it has not been provided that China has helped in the real-time (drone and missile) attack.

At the same time, the CDS said that India was completely dependent on indigenous weapons like Akash which was integrated from the radar system taken from abroad.

CDS said that cyber operations had a very limited role during Operation Sindoor. The CDS said that there were cyber attacks from Pakistan during the confrontation, which affected public platforms, but the military system was not affected.

Economic stand-point not required

The CDS said that India had become increasingly disassembled after the operations. Because without fighting, the mobilization of the army for a long time is not financially suitable. Long -running war affects the development of the country.

Speaking at the damage done during Operation Sindoor, the CDS said that no war comes without loss. But it is more important how we are answering him. The CDS said that in just three days we gave a suitable reply to Pakistan and did not increase the war.

Regarding terrorists in Pakistan, the CDS said that it is a matter of intelligence (agencies). But if these foreign jihadis try to enter the border of India, then the army will deal with them.

India has long-term strategy regarding relations with Pakistan

The CDS completely dismissed the fact that there is no strategic-defense about India-Pakistan relations. General Chauhan said that at the time of partition (1947), Pakistan was ahead of India in many ways. But today GDP, social harmony and development, India has gone far ahead. This is part of India’s visionary strategic strategy. Strategic-dispensing is also part of this retaliation.

This meeting with the Defense Minister lasted for about 2 hours. During this, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi gave information about the current situation with Pakistan. Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh gave details of the counter actions of the Indian Air Force.

India’s confidence was visible in the photo

The Indian Army, along with air defense units, launched a large -scale drone campaign in Udhampur, Samba, Jammu, Akhnoor, Nagrota and Pathankot. The entire campaign used L-70 cannons, ZU-23 mm, Shilka and other anti-drone systems.

The picture of Rajnath Singh and army chiefs also shows confidence in the time of crisis. This photo is enough to tell that India not only gives confidence to its people, but also makes the world clear that India is powerful even after being peaceful.
