Srinagar, Sept 18 (IBNS): Indian Army chief Gen Dalbir Singh on Sunday reached Srinagar as he will visit the army camp in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir where militants attacked to kill at least 17 jawans.

He will review situation and plans in the camp following the attack.

"Gen Dalbir Singh #COAS reaches Srinagar. Recd by Army Cdr NC & Chinar Corps Cdr. Will review situation & plans," read a tweet posted by Indian Army's official.

Hundreds of army jawans were sleeping in tents when terrorists threw grenades and started heavy firing on tents, leaving 17 army personnel dead.

Soon after the firing, large number of reinforcement rushed towards the camp along with para commodes, who have been dropped via helicopter inside the camp, to eliminate the militants.

The attack is believed to have been mounted by the terror group Lashkar e-Taiba and backed by Pakistan's spy agency ISI.
