Early Times Report
Srinagar , March 17
Army today said revoking Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and Disturbed Areas Act (DAA) in Jammu and Kashmir would mean "compromising" its operational capabilities.

"We feel that by revoking special legal provisions, which are in place here, definitely our operational capabilities will be compromised," General Officer Command (GOC) of Army's Srinagar based 15 Corps Lieutenant General Syed Ata Hasnain told reporters at Pattan, 30 kms from Srinagar.

He said Army's "line of thinking" about the revocation of AFSPA has already been conveyed many times to the government.

"Army's line of thinking has already been conveyed many times by the Chief of the Army Staff, Commander of the Northern Command and even I have conveyed it a couple of times. We are going through a process of interaction with the state government and there are two committees which have been set-up for this purpose," he said.
