Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir): Srinagar based Indian army’s 15 Corps General officer Commanding (GoC) Lieutenant General DP Pandey on Tuesday claimed that anti-militancy operations launched by the army in the Valley are based on human intelligence.
"I would not like to connect any anti-militancy operation with the incidents that took place in Srinagar and other places," he said while speaking on the sidelines of a function at SKICC.
He asserted that all the anti-militancy operations launched in the past few days were based on human intelligence. The civilian killings are highly condemnable. Security forces and the people need to be very careful to keep the communal harmony intact."
