New Delhi: In wake of the Taliban attack on the Pakistan naval base in Karachi, India has carried out security audit of its vital installations, Army Chief General V K Singh said in New Delhi on Monday.
"After this particular thing (Karachi attack) we have again carried out our audit and I think we are reasonably sure that the security audit will stand its veracity," he told reporters.
The Army Chief was speaking on the occasion of launch of Lieutenant General (retd) J F R Jacob's book 'An odyssey in war and peace' on the 1971 war operations and the role of senior officers including Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw.
The Taliban terrorists had carried a suicide attack on Pakistan Navy base Mehran near Karachi last month in which 14 people were killed and two P-3C Orion surveillance aircraft destroyed.
Asked for his reaction on the book which is critical of the top army leadership at the time, the Army Chief declined to comment.
"I was in 4 Corps during the war. It guarded the maximum area. It was manoeuvre at its best on the foot because of the planners on the top," he said about the war.
On the Pakistan Army exercise opposite Rajasthan border, he said, "We are aware of the exercise, it is periodic exercise. There is a system when such exercises are held at a particular distance from the International Border, we inform each other. We have done our exercise, similarly they are doing it," Singh said.
"I think it is part of the normal training processes and a lot of heat gets generated without no rhyme and reason," he added.
