Terrorist Attacks on Army Bases

On 18th September 2016, a group of four terrorists attacked Rear Administrative Base of an Infantry Battalion in Uri garrison. The Quick Reaction Team of the Battalion killed all the four terrorists. A total of 19 Army personnel were martyred in the incident.

The information on total loss incurred by Army along with the compensation paid to the deceased / injured personnel is being collected and will be laid on the Table of the House.

National Investigation Agency is conducting an investigation into the incident. The investigation is not complete. On 21st September 2016, Pakistan High Commissioner in New Delhi was summoned for demarche by Foreign Secretary and was told about Government of India’s willingness to provide proof including finger prints and DNA samples of terrorists killed in Uri, should the Government of Pakistan intend to investigate the attack. The Government of Pakistan was also reminded of its solemn commitment made in January, 2004 not to allow territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India.

Army has taken necessary steps including inter alia sensitizing all troops on the security situation and the necessity to maintain a high level of vigil and security measures; review, coordination and streamlining of the response mechanism and short and long term measures to strengthen the security infrastructure.

This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Dr. Subhash Bhamre in a written reply to Shri T Radhakrishnan and others in Lok Sabha today.
