NEW DELHI: Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi will visit Jammu on Saturday to review the security situation, officials said.
He will be briefed by the formation commanders on the areas being taken by the security forces. A security review meeting with other security agencies is also likely to be held.
The Army chief’s visit will come after four Indian Army soldiers, including Captain Brijesh Thapa, were killed in action during an encounter with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district on July 16.
This will be the Army chief’s second visit to Jammu and Kashmir. On July 3, he visited the Poonch-Rajouri sector to review the security situation along the Line of Control (LoC).
General Upendra Dwivedi took over the command of the Indian Army on June 30. The 30th Chief of the Indian Army belongs to the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles and was Vice Chief of Army Staff from February this year.
