J&K Lt Governor Manoj Sinha said on Monday that the Army is fully capable of dealing with any situation on the border. “There is no pause in anti-terror operations and clear directions have been given to security forces to wipe out the menace and ensure peace and tranquillity in the region,” he said. Two soldiers were killed in an improvised explosive device (IED) blast. The IED is believed to have been planted by the terrorists. The response from the Indian Army is reported to have caused casualties on the Pakistan side of the LoC. The ceasefire agreement signed by the two countries on February 25, 2021, was holding well and that the violations if any by Pakistan side were being taken up by the field commanders. The Lt Governor added that police and the security forces are working in complete synergy in Jammu and Kashmir and are under clear orders to dismantle the ecosystem of terror sustained by terrorists, their over-ground workers (OGWs) and sympathisers.
