SRINAGAR: The Twitter handle of the Army’s strategic Srinagar-based Chinar Corps was Friday verified by the social media giant, after a brief suspension period that lasted for less than a day.
An army official said the Twitter verified the handle and added back its followers, adding it was unclear as to why the official account of the Army’s Srinagar-based headquarters was suspended.
“We contacted the Twitter and the handle was verified and restored. Its followers have also been added back,” the official said.
The Chinar Corps — also known as 15 Corps oversees anti-militancy operations on the Line of Control (LoC) and hinterland in the Kashmir valley.
“#ChinarCorps Twitter handle is fully functional & verified now. Thank you all for the constant support, encouragement & suggestions. #MissionPeaceKashmir #AwaamArmyConnect #TerrorismFreeKashmir @adgpi @NorthernComd_IA @Whiteknight_IA @easterncomd,” the handle put out in a tweet after it was restored and verified.
