Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited forward areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir on Thursday to review the security situation and assess the preparedness of the forces engaged in counter-infiltration and counter-terror operations, officials reported.
“#GeneralUpendraDwivedi #COAS visited the forward locations of #ChinarCorps & reviewed the security situation along the Line of Control #LOC,” the Army’s ADGPI posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
During his visit, the Army chief interacted with commanders and troops on the ground, commending all ranks for their high standards of professionalism. He urged them to remain resolute in facing emerging security challenges.
The Kupwara district, bordering Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), has experienced three gun battles this month, resulting in the deaths of five foreign infiltrators. The army has been maintaining strict vigilance along the LoC amid intelligence inputs of potential infiltration.
General Dwivedi also laid a wreath and paid homage to Naik Dilawar Khan, who was killed in an encounter with troops in the forest area of Lolab in Kupwara yesterday.
