01/10/2016
NEW DELHI, Sep 30: Army Chief Dalbir Singh today complimented all ranks of Udhampur-based Northern Command for successfully conducting the “surgical strike” on terrorist launchpads across the LoC in which “significant casualties” were inflicted on terrorists preparing to infiltrate from PoK.
Sources said the army was ready to deal with any possible attack from Pakistani side in response to the “clinical strike” carried out by para commandos of the army.
The Additional Directorate General of Public Information (Army) in Ministry of Defence here said the army chief complimented the Northern Command for successfully planning and implementing the strike, seen as a reprisal for the Uri attack.
The sources said the decision on the “surgical strike” was taken soon after the attack on the Uri army base on September 18. They said India was ready with contingency plans considering the possibilities that Pakistan may retaliate in the wake of the surgical strike.
The Army also trashed reports in Pakistan about Indian casualties during the operation, saying one member of the special forces received minor injury while returning but it was not due to any enemy or terrorist action.
