Indian military exercises near Pak border end
 
 Updated at: 0727 PST,  Wednesday, May 06, 2009
 NEW DELHI: The Indian military said Tuesday it has ended three days of large-scale military exercises involving its main strike corps close to the Pakistan border.

The three-day maneuvers, code-named Hind Shakti (‘Indian Power’), were held in the arid plains of northern Punjab state and wrapped up on Tuesday, officials said.

“The exercise entailed participation by mechanised and infantry divisions in a blitzkrieg type armoured incursion,” emphasising “rapid penetration into enemy territory,” the defence ministry said in a statement.

Officials said the exercises involved the elite Kharga Corps and that similar war games by India’s two remaining strike units were also being planned.

“The manoeuvres will factor in various scenarios, including the worsening situation in our neighbourhood,” a Kharga Corps commander told media. The exercises come amid increasing concern between India and Pakistan.

Last month the Indian government blamed the crisis across the border was a threat to the entire region.
