New Delhi, May 4 (PTI): The Army will respond to the killing and mutilation of its soldiers like it has always done in the past, said Army chief General Bipin Rawat on Thursday, when he addressed a defence think tank. Rawat said on the sidelines of an event at the United Service Institution of India.
On Monday two soldiers of a joint patrol team of the Army and the Border Security Force (BSF) was ambushed by a Border Action Team (BAT) of the Pakistan Army in the KG sector in Kashmir. Two soldiers were killed and their bodies mutilated.
Asked about the reactivation of terror launchpads across the LoC, which were destroyed by India during the surgical strike last year, General Rawat said, “We have beefed up our counter-infiltration postures.”
On the security forces launching a massive anti-militancy operation at multiple places in south Kashmir’s Shopian district today, he said it is being carried out to bring the situation under control.
“Combing operation is going on as some banks were looted and some policemen have been killed. It has been launched to ensure that the situation is brought under control,” he said.
