Army chief General Dalbir Singh Friday reviewed the security situation in the unrest-hit Valley, especially in the four worst-affected districts of south Kashmir.
Gen Singh arrived here this morning and was briefed about the prevailing situation in the Valley by General Officer Commanding of Chinar Corps Lt Gen Satish Dua, defense sources said.
The sources said the army chief visited defense formations in the north and south of the Valley to get firsthand account of the situation from the officers on the ground.
“The army chief was informed about the steps to be taken to help the civil administration restore normalcy, particularly in south Kashmir,” the sources said.
Gen Singh also visited forward locations along the Line of Control in Kupwara district to review the preparedness of the anti-infiltration grid, they said.
He is scheduled to call on Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra later before heading back to Delhi.
