VK Singh said the armed forces protect the country and urged people to understand the facts before criticising soldiers.
He said allegations against security personnel should not be made without evidence.
Meanwhile, officials said vehicle restrictions are common in Ladakh due to weather, road and security conditions.
The tourist alleged that the road was blocked for a VIP convoy. However, officials have not provided a detailed response to the allegation.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also reacted to the video.
Abdullah sarcastically compared the Gen Z reference with the practice of invoking influential family names to pressure authorities.
He suggested that saying “we are Gen Z” had become a new form of such pressure.
