LoC attack: SoPs to be revised, says top BSF officer

JAMMU: After the surprise attack by Pakistani troops yesterday, the Indian Army and the BSF will be revising their Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) on the Line of Control (LoC) to avert such losses, a top security officer said here today.

The Indian security establishment sees a link between the attack, in which two soldiers were beheaded, and the visit by Pakistan Army Chief Gen Qamar Bajwa to the LoC a day before.

“..I would not like to comment formally on this. But yes, there is no doubt about it,” BSF Additional Director General (ADG) Western Command Kamal N Choubey said when asked whether there was a link between yesterday’s incident and the Pakistan army chief’s visit to the area on Sunday.  (AGENCIES)
