Chief of Northern Command Lt General Sanjiv Chachra on Sunday discussed security issues with Jammu & Kashmir governor NN Vohra and senior Army officers, especially the situation along line of control (LoC), which has witnessed a spurt in ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts.
‘Lt Gen Chachra, general officer commanding in chief of Northern Command, today (Sunday) arrived on a two-day visit to take stock of security situation in the valley,’ defence spokesman Naresh Vig said in a statement.
He said the visit of the Army commander assumes importance in the backdrop of the increased number of incidents of infiltration attempts by militants from across the LoC and ongoing ceasefire violations.
The Army has in recent past foiled infiltration attempts at various places in Kupwara Sector, in which 18 militants have so far been killed in different operations, he said.
