New Delhi, May 27

A three-day conference of the Army’s top brass began today to delve on various issues facing the force, including operational and administrative matters.

This is the first phase of the event, the second scheduled for the last week of June. The conference was planned in April, but had to be deferred due to Covid-19 outbreak.

The meeting comes in the backdrop of a major crisis in Eastern Ladakh along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China. The three-day biannual event is attended by the top Army leadership to brainstorm new security and administrative issues and plan a roadmap.

The anti-terror operations in Kashmir will also be discussed. Another issue on agenda will be the training of soldiers and officers as the corona outbreak had halted all such drills, including field activity.

Also on agenda

• Anti-terror operations in Kashmir valley
• Training of soldiers and officers, which had stopped post-Covid outbreak
• Merger of Directorate General of Military Training into ARTRAC in Shimla
