The Indian Army is going to place emergency orders for extreme cold weather tents for the soldiers on the borders. Over 30,000 additional troops are being deployed in the Ladakh sector to counter the Chinese aggression. The need for the tents is being felt as the deployment on the LAC is expected to be prolonged with the stand-off likely to continue at least till September-October. The force is looking at both Indian and European markets for such tents as the focus is on to procure them before the extreme cold weather sets in. The Centre has given financial powers of Rs 500 crore per procurement to the defence forces to address any type of shortages of weapons, ammunition and habitat.
