The situation in the Kashmir Valley has improved considerably in the last few years, but the time has not yet come for the army to withdraw from the interior of the Valley. Lt Gen ADS Aujla, General Officer Commanding Chinar Corps said these things in an exclusive interview on Wednesday. He said the number of active terrorists in the Valley is the lowest in the last 34 years. "I think the time is not ripe at this point of time," he said. We still have to see a lot of good things happen before we can pass judgment. I will not comment on this. Timeline per se, nor would I say it is the wrong time or the right time, Lt Gen Aujla said. The Army is just a tool in the government's plans to ensure prosperity and development of Kashmir, said Lt Gen Aujla. He said, "We will work collectively with the state administration and other agencies so that we can see better Kashmir before taking a decision. This is a national call and it will be taken up in the right way at the right time."
