The Brigade Commander of the Uri based army brigade has been side stepped by the Army.
“Brigadier K Somashanker has been shifted out of the sensitive brigade,” the defence sources said.
They said that this has been done to ensure fair, comprehensive and objective inquiry in the incident that left 19 jawans dead.
This was a part of the protocol of inquiry, the added.
They said an officer from the 28 Mountain Division of the army is scheduled to take over as the Uri Brigade commander.
Army officials did not respond to calls seeking comment on the development.
