A day after four soldiers, including a decorated Major, were killed by terrorists in encounters in Jammu and Kashmir, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat had a strong warning for locals he said are "not supporting the army" despite people-friendly ops. Local people who picked up arms and appeared to support terrorists would be treated as anti-nationals and would face harsher action, said General Rawat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the soldiers who died in encounters in Kashmir's Handwara and Bandipora.
