SRINAGAR: A day after the Pakistani attack, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat today visited the forward areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir and asked the troops to remain alert and thwart “any misadventure” from across the border.

During his interaction with the troops, he reassured them that the entire nation stands behind its soldiers in their “brave endeavours to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and integrity and maintaining peace” in the Valley.

The army chief, who was on a two-day visit to Kashmir since yesterday, was accompanied by Northern Army Commander Lt Gen D Anbu and Srinagar-based Corps Commander Lt Gen J S Sandhu.

“The army chief was briefed by formation commanders on the security situation on the border and measures instituted to strengthen the security posture besides overall operational and logistical preparedness,” an army official said. (AGENCIES)
