Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi assessed the security landscape along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, urging troops to stay vigilant against security threats, officials reported.

This marked his inaugural visit to the Jammu region after assuming command as the 30th chief of the Indian Army on June 30. His visit is pivotal given the ongoing Amarnath Yatra and significant anti-terror operations, particularly in the hilly districts.

Accompanied by senior military officials, Gen Dwivedi undertook a detailed review of the security and operational readiness along the LoC in Poonch. He also chaired a strategic meeting with top Army and police officials back at the Army headquarters in Nagrota.
