Defence Minister meets ex-servicemen during 3-day visit to LadakhThe dedication of Indian soldiers and veterans towards the country is an “exemplary example”, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday soon after arriving in Ladakh on a three-day visit. “Our aim is to take care of you in the same way as you all have taken care of the security of the country,” Mr. Singh said. Later, Mr. Singh met the elected representatives of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils, Leh, Kargil and officials in Leh. The two sides have so far held 11 rounds of military talks for disengagement and de-escalation in Eastern Ladakh. However, there has been no progress in the last few rounds of talks for disengagement at Gogra and Hot Springs.
