Pakistan troops at border: Rawat downplays report

New Delhi : Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat on Tuesday said Pakistan deploying additional military resources along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir over the last few days is normal and not a matter of concern, asserting that Indian troops are prepared to deal with any security challenge in the region.
The Army chief said every country takes precautionary measures and there is no reason to worry about the deployment of additional forces by Pakistan along LoC.
"That's normal. Everybody does precautionary deployment and movement of precautionary resources.
We should not get too concerned about it," Gen Rawat said on the sidelines of an event.
He was asked about Pakistan ramping up the number of troops along the LoC days after India removed special status to Jammu and Kashmir and split the state into two union territories.
The Army chief said Indian forces are prepared to deal with any security challenges along the LoC.
"As far as the Army is concerned, services are concerned, we are always prepared should anything go wrong," he said.
