Lt Gen Srivastava takes charge of Chinar Corps

Srinagar: Lieutenant General Prashant Srivastava on Saturday assumed command of the strategically important Srinagar-based Chinar Corps, which manages the country's border with Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, besides fighting terrorists in the Valley. Lt Gen Srivastava took charge from Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, who will assume command as the director general of military operations at the Army headquarters, a defence spokesperson said. The change comes shortly after the completion of the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir held after a gap of 10 years. agencies
