The Army Chief reached Srinagar to take stock of the situation following the killing of 26 civilians by terrorists at Pahalgam.
During the discussion Lieutenant Governor said, ”The nation has full faith in the bravery and valour of our Army, police and CAPFs and they must work in close synergy to identify perpetrators, enablers and OGWs of Pahalgam attack and pursue the entire chain in a sustained manner and neutralise them”.
“Every perpetrator and supporter of the Pahalgam terror attack, whatever his location or affiliation, must be hunted and they must pay the heavy price for the cowardly and dastardly act against our citizens,” the Lieutenant Governor told the top army officials.
The meeting also reviewed security mechanisms in place, various short-term, long-term measures and integration and coordination among the various security agencies.
