Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi kicked off a vital two-day inspection in Jammu, zeroing in on security protocols and Army positioning amid persistent militant incursions. This visit highlights the military’s proactive stance during the vulnerable winter months.
Arriving at the Jammu-based White Knight Corps on Friday, General Dwivedi received comprehensive updates on the security matrix. Focus areas included the counter-terror grid in Nagrota and the momentum of Operation Trashi-1, which has kept terrorists on the run.
Jammu and Kashmir’s Operation All Out rages on, countering increased movements by Pakistani-backed militants exploiting seasonal cover. Multi-agency intelligence collaboration has been a game-changer, facilitating the neutralization of three infiltrators in the last 30 days alone.
The Army Chief lauded the operational excellence and steadfast duty of field commanders and officers. In meetings with other security agency heads, he stressed the need for unwavering vigilance and agility. Saturday’s itinerary reportedly includes forward area visits to boost troop morale directly.
In a parallel development, Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, toured the Bobiya Border Out Post in Kathua district, paying tribute to BSF’s sacrifices and virtually inaugurating soldier welfare programs. These efforts reflect India’s ironclad defense strategy.
