“The Indian Army is following the political direction of 'New Normal', under which, any terror act on the country will be considered as 'Act of War'. And the military has to prepare for any such activities... A lot of technologies and capabilities have been introduced for this... Our focus is on maximum night training, hence we are carrying out 70% of the training at night and 30% of it during the day, ” said Lt Gen Manjinder Singh
