Army was in command of Pathankot operation: Army Chief
Army chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag on Wednesday put up a vociferous defence of government’s counter-terror operations in Pathankot, saying that the Army was in control of it and he personally monitored the situation. He was the one controlling the operation,” Gen Singh said at the annual press conference ahead of Army Day. Stating the Army Para Special Forces were also present on the ground, he said, “On the ground it was the Army Brigade commander who was controlling the operation.” Contrary to reports that the Army came in late, Gen Suhag said Army columns were deployed both inside and outside the perimeter within few hours of the intelligence alert after which no one has breached the base. Gen. Suhag said he gave three instructions to the Army Commander which included security of assets, safety of families and to carry out deliberate operations to minimise casualties.
