Baramulla: Describing the recent civilian killings as an attempt to divide the society on communal lines, General Officer Commanding, 15 Corps, Lieutenant General, DP Pandey, on Sunday said that people of Kashmir have always stood against such nefarious designs.
While condemning the civilian killings, Lt General Pandey said that prevailing peaceful situation across Kashmir is “an eyesore for the enemy country and to those who are against peace” and as such are resorting to killings of innocent people.

He said, “Several developmental activities are taking place across Kashmir and people here anticipate more and more such initiatives. The visible change on the ground is making enemy nervous and uneasy. Their frustration is evident from the attempt of dividing the society on communal lines,” he said.
