Srinagar, June 7: Demonstrating their commitment to “service before self,” the formidable Indian Army has ensured the successful conclusion of the G20 summit in Kashmir despite numerous challenges. Now, the Indian Army is fully prepared to safeguard the sacred Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage in Kashmir.
Lt. Gen. Amardeep Singh Aujla, a commanding officer in the Indian Army, reassured that the overall situation in Kashmir is “quite favorable.” He stated, “The general situation in the valley is under control. There has been no infiltration this year… We have successfully completed the G20 meetings. Our counter-infiltration measures on the ground are robust and effective.”
Addressing the issue of radicalization in the region, Lt. Gen. Aujla acknowledged increased efforts but emphasized a reduced impact. He pointed out that social media plays a significant role in radicalization, particularly among the youth. However, he expressed confidence that the younger generation is becoming more discerning and aware, urging them to distinguish between right and wrong.
Furthermore, Lt. Gen. Aujla assured that the Indian Army is fully prepared to tackle any unforeseen cross-border threats, highlighting their solid and robust defense capabilities.
However, the commanding officer expressed concern regarding the rise of “Narco-Terrorism,” also known as drug-based terrorism, in the region.
