Summary:

Srinagar, Sep 20 (PTI) There is no need to worry about the possibility of a spillover of Taliban militants into Jammu and Kashmir as people will be kept safe, a top Army official here said on Monday.

"This question has been asked to me a number of times on events which are unrelated.

Right? So, I will again answer your question: why are you worried? You are safe and you will be kept safe.

There is enough effort," General Officer Commanding (GoC) of the Army"s Srinagar-based 15 Corps or Chinar Corps, Lt Gen D P Pandey, told reporters here.
