Lt Gen Sharawat, who oversees the strategic Rising Star Corps responsible for security along the International Border and parts of Jammu, Kathua, and Samba districts, was accompanied by Major General Mukesh Bhanwala, GOC of the Tiger Division. The discussions focused on assessing the current security landscape, addressing potential threats, and reinforcing coordination between military and civil authorities.

The Rising Star Corps, headquartered in Yol, Himachal Pradesh, plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the region, making such high-level engagements crucial for aligning military strategies with administrative objectives.
Jammu & Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, who has consistently emphasised a zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism, reiterated the administration’s commitment to supporting security forces in their efforts to maintain peace.
