General Officer Commanding (GOC) of 16 Corps, Lt General Navin Sachdeva, on Monday directed troops to remain steadfast towards maintaining peace and tranquillity in the Doda and Kishtwar region.

Lt Gen Navin Sachdeva, who took over as GoC of the White Knight Corps recently, is undertaking a ground-zero visit to review the security situation and operational preparedness of troops in the Jammu region.

In a post on X, Nagrota-based White Knight Corps stated, “Lt Gen Navin Sachdeva, GOC, White Knight Corps, visited Counter Insurgency Force (Delta) to ascertain operational preparedness in the Doda and Kishtwar region. The GOC complimented the force and the units for high standards of operational preparedness and directed them to remain steadfast towards maintaining peace and tranquillity in the region”.

Delta Force is part of the Rashtriya Rifles looking after the operational area of the Kishtwar, Doda and Ramban districts of Jammu region.

While Doda and Kishtwar districts are comparative peaceful than Rajouri and Poonch, attempts are made from time to time to create unrest in these regions. The police in Doda and Kishtwar have tightened the noose around Over-Ground Workers (OGWs) and around terrorists who have fled to Pakistan-Occupied J&K (PoJK) and trying to revive terrorism from there.
