Northern Army Commander reviews security, lauds troops for operational excellence

Srinagar, May 19 (UNI) Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Pratik Sharma on Monday reviewed the security situation and operational preparedness of troops deployed in the Kashmir Valley.

The visit of Lt Gen Sharma comes days after two successful operations in south Kashmir which led to the killing of six local terror militants - three each from Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad.
In a post on X, Northern Command of Indian Army said that Lt Gen Sharma reviewed the operational preparedness.

“Lt Gen Pratik Sharma, Army Commander Northern Command, reviewed security & operational readiness in the valley,” the post said.

He commended the brave troops for demonstrating offensive spirit and unwavering professionalism during successful execution of operations and emphasised upon dominating in both cognitive and physical domains fuelled by proactive measures.

Lt Gen Sharma’s visit underscores the Indian Army’s sustained state of high alert and its continued focus on operational preparedness in the wake of Operation Sindoor.
The high-profile military operation, launched in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 tourists, resulted in the targeted destruction of key terror camps across the Line of Control. The campaign later expanded to include strikes on Pakistani military installations, following Islamabad’s assault on civilian infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir.
Lt Gen Sharma’s presence in the Kashmir Valley signals the Army’s commitment to maintaining strategic dominance and readiness amid evolving security challenges.
