The Northern Commander called on Lieutenant Governor Sinha in Srinagar today.

“General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GoC-in-C) Northern Command Lieutenant General Pratik Sharma on Wednesday called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, and briefed him on latest developments and different aspects pertaining to prevailing security scenario. He was accompanied by Lt Gen Prashant Srivastava, GoC 15 Corps,” an official spokesman said.

The tensions between India and Pakistan escalated on May 7 when the Indian military carried out strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes were in response to the terror attack Pahalgam, which killed 26 civilians.
The two countries on May 10 agreed on a ceasefire.
