PM expresses concern over handling of Keran LoC operation

Soon after the operations started on September 24, Army authorities had claimed that 35-40 terrorists had infiltrated and around a dozen had been killed in the initial contact phase itself.

However, only eight could be killed in the operation that got over on October 8.

Questions have been raised over the operations by the local formation and the senior commanders there as several loopholes have been being cited in their conduct.  

The four-day Army Commanders' Conference starting October 21 is also expected to discuss various aspects of the entire operation.
