Army units stationed along the borders will head back home by December, Deputy Army Chief Lt Gen J.B.S. Yadava said today.

Yadava was speaking to reporters on Thursday, on the eve of the Indian peace keeping contingent’s departure for Lebanon.

The 8th Sikh, a battalion that won many honours during the Kargil war and was also deployed during Operation Parakram, was in Delhi for a six-month training before leaving for Lebanon.

Incidentally they will be replacing 1/11 Gorkha Rifles which also won accolades during the Kargil war.
