SL Army Chief flew to India

Army Commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka flew to Kashmir yesterday at the start of a visit to India during which he will hold talks on security measures to eradicate terrorism.
Defence Ministry officials said Army chief flew to the 440-kilometre Line of Control that divides the Indian and Pakistani zones of Kashmir and met commanders manning the militerised de facto border, as quoted in the Hindu National Daily newspaper in India.
Fonseka, who arrived in India last Sunday on a six-day trip, will meet his Indian counterpart Deepak Kapoor, Defence Minister A.K. Antony and others for talks on possible cooperation between two nations.
Army Commander Sarath Fonseka will also meet defence secretary V. K. Singh and he is expected to seek possible cooperation from India in Sri Lanka's fight against the Tamil separatist rebels.
