Lt General Anindya Sengupta has been named as the next ‘Fire and Fury’ Corps Commander of the Indian Army in Ladakh. Lt Gen Sengupta will assume this charge amid the military standoff with China.
Lt Gen Sengupta will succeed the present commander Lt Gen PGM Menon who would be completing his tenure of more than a year and represented India in the dialogues with China to resolve the standoff at the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
“Lt Gen Sengupta is going to take over as the next commander of the Fire and Fury Corps and would be heading the talks from the Indian side with the Chinese whenever they take place,” government sources told ANI.
This Corps is also in charge of the Siachen area which has been the world’s highest and coldest battlefield for more than three decades now. India and China have been in a military standoff position for almost two years now post Chinese aggression in the Eastern Ladakh sector in April-May last year.
