The Army’s Northern Command said on social media platform X that Lt Gen Sharma reviewed inputs placed before the participants in the presence of key stakeholders.

During the meeting, the Northern Commander reiterated the need for enhanced inter-agency synergy, real-time intelligence sharing and integrated coordination among all stakeholders. He underlined that closer collaboration was essential to strengthen operational readiness, facilitate rapid response and improve the effectiveness of joint operations.

Officials said the review also examined the functioning of existing coordination mechanisms on the ground and identified areas where further integration could help shorten the response cycle. The meeting focused on aligning operational priorities and strengthening mechanisms for sharing and acting upon actionable intelligence.

<h2>Recent field visits</h2> The Srinagar meeting came days after Lt Gen Sharma visited South Kashmir to review the progress of the ongoing Operation KORAG and assess the security situation in the area. During that visit, he commended the formation for its synergy, dedication, perseverance and commitment to sustained counter-terror operations.

Earlier in the week, the Northern Commander had also reviewed the security posture in the Akhnoor sector and directed troops to remain vigilant and combat-ready.

Srinagar serves as the headquarters of the Army&#8217;s XV Corps and is a key operational hub for the security grid in the Kashmir Valley, where high-level review meetings are periodically convened to align the assessments of the Army, police and intelligence agencies.

The Northern Command is a principal operational formation of the Indian Army, headquartered at Udhampur. It currently controls four corps: XIV Corps (Leh), XV Corps (Srinagar), I Corps (Mathura) and XVI Corps (Nagrota). The command was re-raised in 1972 to oversee India&#8217;s northern borders.
