New Delhi, Oct 17 (TIWN) Chief of the Indian Air Force, Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari, reviewed the deployment of aircrafts at the forward locations in Ladakh amid China rejecting the border dispute resolution proposal. This was Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari's maiden visit after taking over as the IAF chief earlier this month.

Chaudhari visited the Air Force Station at Leh and Indian Air Force deployments at forward areas in the Northern Sector on Saturday, the force said.  He took stock of the operational readiness of units and interacted with the personnel stationed at the airbase and units on deployment.  Ahead of 89th Air Force Day on October 8, Air Chief Marshal Chaudhari had said there was an increase in the presence of Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force across Eastern Ladakh. He, however, mentioned that it was not going to make much difference to the Air Force.
