Lt Gen Devendra Pandey IS New Chinar Corps Commander
Lt Gen BS Raju Hands Over Charge To Lt Gen Devendra Pandey
In a statement to news agency KNO, the General commanded the Corps in a critical phase in 2020 where Kashmir was confronted with the twin challenges of militancy and COVID-19.
“Lt Gen Raju’s tenure over the last one year is defined by an improved security environment prevailing both on the Line of Control and in Kashmir. With the civil administration and security forces synergising their efforts to bring normalcy back to Kashmir, militancy is on the decline with assessed residual militant numbers being the lowest in a decade,” the statement said.
