India allows soldiers to use weapons against Chinese Army after being beaten in hand to hand combat

After the disgrace at the hands of China, the Indian Army became embarrassed and immediately changed the rules on the use of weapons on the Line of Actual Control.

According to Indian media, the Indian Army has changed the rules of use of weapons on the Line of Actual Control on the border with China, under which the field commander has been given powers.

Notably, after the change in the rules of use of weapons, field commanders have been allowed to fire in exceptional circumstances.

During the clash on the night on June 15, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army also took 10 Indian Armymen including officers, into custody and released them after three days following military-level talks.

As per reports, Indian soldiers did not use weapons when the PLA troops attacked them. They were not allowed to do so as per the orders from their seniors and the confidence building measures pacts with China.

As per the new Rules of Engagement, commanders deployed at LAC can give soldiers “complete freedom of action” to handle situations at the tactical level. The commanders can now use firearms and have full authority to respond to extraordinary situations using all resources at their disposal.

This comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at an all-party meeting on Friday, said that his Government has given the armed forces full freedom to take any necessary action.
