Manipur officer on J&K vigil
- Lt Gen. Khonsam Singh first from Northeast to command a corps
The Telegraph | Sujan Dutta | Nagrota, Oct. 10:
A strange quietude has descended suddenly, since last night, on the line of control and the international boundary in Jammu where Indian and Pakistani forces exchanged small arms and mortar fire for nearly nine days. “It is quieter, yes,” says Lt Gen. Konsam Himalay Singh, 59, the general officer commanding the 16 Corps responsible for the defence of Jammu.
Singh has served nine tenures in the region, even commanded the 25th division before he was appointed chief of the 16 Corps. (Singh, a Manipuri from Thoubal district, is also the first officer from the Northeast to command a corps in the country).
