Sopore, Nov 08: The top army officer on Friday claimed that local support paves the way for significant achievements in the fight against terrorism in Kashmir.
Addressing the media, as per Kashmir Despatch Correspondent, Commander of 7 Sector Deepak Mohan stated that over the past weeks, the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police have collaborated to track the terrorists. As a result, significant success has been achieved in the elimination of several known terrorists involved in various terror activities.
The top army officer stated that these significant achievements would not have been possible without the unwavering support of the Awaam of Kashmir.
He expressed gratitude for the thoughts and efforts of locals who have helped maintain peace in Kashmir. He further added that the security forces will continue to strive for peace in Kashmir for a bright and successful future.
Reacting to the Panipora gunfight in which two foreign militants were killed, the top army officer said that this operation represents a major success for the security forces.
He noted that, according to sources and recoveries, this terrorist group had been active in North Kashmir for quite some time.
However, he emphasized that during the operation, our brave troops demonstrated remarkable vigilance. When the terrorists opened indiscriminate fire while taking cover behind local settlements, our soldiers responded with professionalism and control, effectively neutralizing the threat while ensuring the safety of civilians. The nearby houses were evacuated with great care, demonstrating our commitment to the safety of the local populace, and the movement of the terrorists was monitored using advanced surveillance technology, including quadcopters.
