'You Don't Know The Security Threat': Capt Yashika Tyagi On Ladakh Tourist Row

What does a former soldier make of the viral Ladakh video in which a tourist confronts security personnel over a road closure and says, "We are Gen Z"?

Speaking to NDTV, Captain Yashika Tyagi (Retd.) explains why such confrontations reflect a dangerous lack of understanding about security operations in forward areas. She stresses that the personnel behind the barricade are not making the decisions - they are simply carrying out their operational duties.

From the lessons of Kargil and Pulwama to the heightened security sensitivities in the Valley and eastern Ladakh, Captain Tyagi explains why civilians may question restrictions but must respect the men and women in uniform.
