Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag on Tuesday visited the Line of Control in Kupwara and Baramulla districts and also some Army units in the twin districts and south Kashmir for an on-the-spot review of the situation and operational preparedness.

He appealed for peace in Kashmir and urged the people to “eschew violence and help restore peace and calm at the earliest”. The Army Chief, however, also asked the troops, other security forces and “everyone else” to uphold human rights and exercise “maximum possible restraint” while dealing with protesters and mobs.

The Army Chief was briefed on “operational preparedness as well as the recent successful counter-infiltration operations in which over ten terrorists have been eliminated over the past one month,” a spokesperson said.
