New Leadership in Counter-Insurgency Force 'Delta' Marks a Strategic Shift

Major General A P S Bal has assumed command of the Counter-Insurgency Force 'Delta' in Jammu and Kashmir, succeeding Major General Upkar Chander. The force has played a crucial role in combating terrorism since its inception in 1994. Bal encourages personnel to maintain top operational standards.

Major General A P S Bal officially took charge as the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Counter-Insurgency Force 'Delta' in the Chenab Valley of Jammu and Kashmir, taking over from Major General Upkar Chander.

The announcement, made by the Army's Jammu-based White Knight Corps, highlights Bal's commitment to operational excellence by honouring fallen soldiers at the local war memorial.

The Delta force, since its establishment in 1994, has been a pivotal player in counter-terrorism efforts in the Kishtwar, Doda, and Ramban districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
