Army Chief General Dalbir Singh will be on a day-long visit tomorrow to review the security situation in Kashmir valley and along the Line of Control.
"The Chief of Army Staff will review the security situation in Kashmir during meetings with the Corps Commander of China Corp and other officers," a defence source said here.
Gen Singh, who is scheduled to arrive at Army's Badamibagh Cantonment area in the morning, will be briefed about the situation in the valley and the counter-infiltration operations along the LoC.
Gen Singh's visit to the curfew-bound Valley comes in the backdrop of violent mobs attacking army camps and installations in the wake of killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter on July 8.
Three persons, including two women, were killed in firing by army personnel yesterday at Qazigund in Anantnag district when their vehicle came under stone pelting.
Army has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
