Former servicemen are prepared to serve the nation with dedication if any war-like situation arises, said Gian Singh Pathania.
Referring to the ongoing tensions in West Asia, he stated that the situation involving the United States and several Arab nations could also affect Jammu and Kashmir, and the country should remain prepared. He added that many veterans have experience from the 1965 and 1971 wars and are capable of handling such situations.
