Jammu | Aug 7

With the deployment of troops to control the popular agitation on Amarnath land row, Army fears losing its highly regarded image among the people in Jammu region, who have a rich history of soldiering for their nation since time immemorial.
‘’Troops’ deployment for curbing agitation in Jammu could be counter-productive for the country as forces can lose support of locals who share information in anti-militancy operations. It may discourage young generation in joining the Defence forces,’’ a senior army officer dealing with internal law and order situation in the winter capital said on condition of anonymity.
Army, which is fighting militancy in the state and manning the Line of Control (LoC), has been called out to meet the situation in the curfew-bound Jammu region, which is witnessing a mass movement for restoration of forest land to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) in south Kashmir.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Any national channel or paper reporting about Bhim Singh?
