Lt General Upendra Dwivedi, Northern Army Commander Reviews Security Scenario In Kashmir

Srinagar, Aug 13: The Northern Army Commander, Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi arrived in Srinagar today on his visit to Kashmir from 13 Aug 2022. He would be visiting forward posts on the Line of Control to review the overall security situation in the Kashmir Valley.

The Army Commander accompanied by the Chinar Corps Commander,
Lt Gen ADS Aujla visited various locations and formations in forward areas along the Line of Control today. He was briefed on the prevalent security situation and measures instituted to counter adversary’s designs and the development works being undertaken by Indian Army. He lauded the strong counter infiltration grid along the Line of Control. He also appreciated the strict control exercised by the formation to abide by the Cease fire understanding.

Amid the ongoing nationwide celebrations of Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, a 72 ft high Monumental Tricolour was hoisted by the people of Keran along the LoC, in the presence of Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi, GOC-IN-C Northern Army Command and Lt Gen ADS Aujla, GOC Chinar Corps. The defining moment was possible due to the persistent efforts of Flag Foundation of India, passion of the local population and support of the Indian Army. The Flag Mast has been installed in the pristine surroundings of Keran village, on the banks of Kishan Ganga River along the Line of Control. On the occasion, a cultural programme was also organised by the school children, which charged the atmosphere with a spirit of patriotism. The Rashtriya Salute by the Ceremonial Guards of Indian Army, BSF and J&K Police was a befitting display of conjoined effort of security forces in Kashmir to reach out to the farthest village along the Line of Control. The Army Commander appreciated the efforts of all involved in installation of the National Flag.

During the day, the Army Commander interacted and felicitated five civilians at HQ 15 Corps for the efforts undertaken by them in promoting peace, happiness and empowerment initiatives through various endeavours.
