Army wants 6 months to smash terror infrastructure in PoK

October 04, 2016 09:12

Indias armed forces have told the political executive that only a sustained six-month campaign will seriously damage the terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Armed forces strategists also said a determined campaign is needed to target launch pads for such attacks.

A top army officer said: We have to look at a sustained campaign. The terror network is on the back foot, but to really achieve something, we have to look at a medium-term plan, a six-month campaign. A one-off event will not deter them.
