“The aim of this review of security situation was to strengthen the synergy among all agencies engaged in counter terror operations, which has resulted in elimination of a large number of terrorists with minimum collateral damage in recent times,” the spokesman said.

“The Chinar Corps commander along with IGP Kashmir undertook an aerial survey of the area prior to the meeting,” the spokesman said.
The senior officers asked the officers on the ground to continue to harmonise their endeavours to make north Kashmir terrorist-free.
“They also emphasised on continued efforts to minimise collateral damage during operations and positive engagement with the youth to ensure peace and tranquility in the region,” the spokesman said.
A peaceful security environment would faciltate development, disruption free educational calendar, boost to tourism sector and give impetus to creating employment opportunities, he added. (AGENCIES)
