The army today said the clash involving men and officers of an artillery regiment near Leh can be termed as an "isolated act of indiscipline" and not a mutiny. It also denied that any arms and ammunition were used during the incident saying "the armory has not been captured by the troops as is being wrongly reported". An army release said the 3 Mountain Division Commander Maj Gen A L Chavan and Artillery Brigade Commander there talked to the troops yesterday. The situation was brought "well under control" and the Regiment is being moved back from ranges to its location with effect from today, it said.
