Lt Gen Joshi, who is a Kargil war hero, said synergised, ethical and precision operations by security forces have dealt a severe blow to the tanzeems (terrorist groups), the terror network operating in the union territory and their leadership, both local and foreign.

Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General YK Joshi on Tuesday said the ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan was being followed in letter and spirit by both sides since February 25, but asserted that the Army was not letting its guard down “even for one bit” along the border in J&K.
“The present situation is a reflection of our nation’s behaviour as a responsible member of the comity of nations where we have displayed maturity, restraint and humanitarian outlook during the trying times of Covid pandemic,” he said.
India and Pakistan had on February 25 this year released a joint statement announcing a ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC), following talks between their Directors General of Military Operations. The two countries had earlier signed a ceasefire agreement in 2003 but it was repeatedly violated.
Army Chief General M M Naravane arrived on a two-day visit to Kashmir on Wednesday to review the prevailing security situation in the union territory as the ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) completed 100 days. On his arrival at Srinagar, the Army Chief, accompanied by Northern Army Commander, Lt Gen Y K Joshi and Chinar Corps Commander, Lt Gen D P Pandey, visited units and formations in the hinterland where he was briefed by the local commanders on the existing security situation, an Army official said. He said Gen Naravane was also briefed about the measures being taken to identify and target the overground workers (OGWs) network involved in radicalisation and recruitment of youth into terrorist ranks.
