<p>"The situation along the LAC in eastern Ladakh remains tense.

<p>"The constant friction with two of our nuclear-armed neighbours with whom India has fought wars, with both increasingly acting in collusion, poses an omnipresent danger of regional strategic instability with potential for escalation, threatening our territorial integrity and strategic cohesion," Bipin Rawat added.</p>

<p>On Pakistan, the CDS chief said: "The surgical strikes post Uri terror attack and the Balakot airstrikes have delivered a strong message to Pakistan that it no longer enjoys the impunity of pushing terrorists across the Line of Control under the nuclear bogey, while adding that, the new Indian template has injected ambiguity and uncertainty in Pakistan, evident in its media reports, about Indian armed forces reaction, if Pakistan sponsored terrorists cross the threshold of tolerance."&nbsp;</p>

Also Read: A country facing high joblessness, virus rates and anxiety picks its President The virus which has ravaged several parts of the United States including New York when it gained a foothold in March. In the past few months, it has surged in the country's midwest and northern regions. The influx of patients has put further pressure on the health officials who are already struggling with large number of cases for several months. The virus had an impact in the US elections as millions of mail-in voters took part as Pennsylvania decided to allow mailed ballots to be sent but received up to three days afterwards to be counted due to coronavirus. Trump has repeatedly criticised mail-in ballots and alleged that it will lead to a rigged election. The president however never gave any evidence for his protests. The US election took place under the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic even as 100 million votes were registered as poll booths opened on election day on November 3 with millions of mail-in ballots sent to election officials. The virus has also impacted the US economy with the US services sector continuing to grow in October at a slower-than-expected rate compared to the prior months. The services industry was hard-hit by shutdowns as the US enforced a shutdown in March to combat the spread of the virus.
