The army's Northern Command chief, Lt. Gen. Devraj Anbu visited south Kashmir on Tuesday and commended the troops for successful counter-terror operations, a defence statement said.
The statement issued by the army's Udhampur-headquartered command said that he visited army units in south Kashmir, commended the troops for successful counter-terror operations and also reviewed security arrangements for the forthcoming Amarnath Yatra.
This is Lt Gen Anbu's first visit to south Kashmir after security forces killed top Hizbul commander, Sabzar Bhat and his associate, Faizan Ahmad on Saturday without suffering any casualties or injuries.
This year's annual pilgrimage to the Hindu cave shrine of Amarnath in south Kashmir's Anantnag district begins on June 29.
