| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The main difference between 15 corps (responsible for the Valley) and 16 corps (responsible for areas south of Pir Panjal, which divides Jammu and Kashmir) is obvious. The former is focussed on combating insurgency with an emphasis on Operation Sadbhavana, while the latter does more of area domination close to the Line of Control (LC) to check infiltration. The area domination task got an added impetus by the unfortunate incidents in 2013 which witnessed maximum ceasefire violations in recent years by Pakistan in 16 corps zone. |
