FirstpostNorthern Army Commander Lieutenant General Ranbir Singh said the Army was replying befittingly to Pakistan’s aggression along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu: Security forces met considerable success in anti-militancy operations in Jammu and Kashmir in 2018 by eliminating several top ultras who were targeting security forces and civilians, Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Ranbir Singh said on Thursday. Replying to questions about the continuous ceasefire violations along the LoC and five Pakistan soldiers reportedly being killed in Indian retaliation, Singh said, “The report you said about the killing of five Pakistan soldiers in the last few days, it shows that the Indian Army is giving a befitting reply to every nefarious act of Pakistan.” He said the Army was a step ahead of Pakistan as far as giving a befitting reply is concerned. About the planting of IEDs along the LoC to target security forces, the official said it “is nothing new”.
