The L-G stresses coordinated counter-terrorism operations in Jammu region.
He took stock of the situation particularly in the Doda and Kathua districts where nine Army soldiers, including a Captain and a JCO, were recently lost their life in two ambushes by terrorists. A CRPF jawan was also killed in the Hiranagar area of Kathua.
Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi on Tuesday briefed Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of the latest operation by the Army against terrorists in Doda district in which four army personnel were killed.
The Army Chief during his visit to the forward locations was accompanied by the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command, Lt General Suchindra Kumar, and the General Officer Commanding of the Nagrota-based White Knight Corps, Lt General Navin Sachdeva.
The honour was conferred upon him in reciprocation of the honour given to Indian Army Chief, Gen M M Naravane during his visit to the Himalayan nation in November last year.

The outgoing ISI chief had played a crucial part in the Doha talks that led to the American departure from Afghanistan and more recently in meeting Taliban hardliners to cobble together a government in Kabul.
He also visited 'INS Teg', a Missile Frigate affiliated with the 'Sikh Light Infantry Regiment'. In the evening, the General Naravane called on Bhagat Singh Koshyari, the Governor of Maharashtra, and discussed issues of mutual interest including welfare and resettlement of Veterans in the State.
The internal security committee of the Wolesi Jirga, the lower house of Parliament, said that Gen. Ahmadzai has fallen short of fulfilling his responsibilities and that during his time he has been focused on rivalries with members of the army corps instead of managing the war.
