The army officers in charge of the three army establishments which came under militant attacks in past years in Jammu and Kashmir may have to quit their job, reported the Hindustan Times.
The government has decided to take action against the senior officers for security lapses in Uri brigade, the Sunjuwan military camp and the Nagrota army base.
The report quoting a senior official reported that the government has communicated its recommendation to the Indian Army. “The government wants these officers to put in their papers and retire,” the report said.
“The army was communicated that commanders should put in their papers days after the new government was sworn in,” said a second official in the security establishment, who also did not want to be named.
The decision comes less than a month after the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was sworn in for a second successive term in office after winning a commanding majority in the April-May general elections.
